Limitations

Many of the limitations will be fixed in future updates:

• Does not tell you if the animation ends
• Need to manually edit AnimationFlag start and stop indexes if the sprite frames used in AnimationManager are changed
• AnimationFlag.speed does not take Frame Information from the Image Editor or the Frame Speed from the Sprite Editor into consideration
