Question

Is it possible to convert a CCSpriteFrame that was taken from CCSpriteFrameCache, and convert it into a texture that can be set on a sprite texture property?

Answer 1

Assuming your CCSpriteFrame is named frame you can use:

[sprite setDisplayFrame:frame];

to change the sprite’s frame if it uses the same texture. If the texture is not the same, you must create a new sprite:

CCSprite* sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithTexture:frame.texture];
[sprite setDisplayFrame:frame];

But since you already have the CCSpriteFrame you can just as well call initWithFrame:

CCSprite* sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrame:frame];
