> In this release we’ve added support for controlling flipbook animations using a `cursor` property on sprites.

How does this work? I tried setting cursor property values but nothing changes.

playback\_rate does seem to work fine.

```lua
function init(self)
	local num = math.random(30)
	print(num)
	go.set("#sprite", "playback_rate",math.random(num))
end

```

Got it working

```lua
function init(self)
	local num = math.random(30) / 30
	print(num)
	sprite.play_flipbook("#sprite", "spin", nil, {offset = num})
end

```

Has to be a value between 0-1? And has to be used on play\_flipbook also it’s called offset not cursor. playback\_rate can be set here too.

This is awesome! Really useful for spawning things on the same frame and giving them some random variation in animations. 🙂
