I've been looking everywhere for a little more documentation of the types of messages I can send SPMovieClip and haven't found much. Is there a way to make a Sparrow movieclip object jump to a specific frame in the animation? Perhaps also stop? I think "frameAtIndex" might be what I'm looking for but I'm unsure how to use it.

Also, if there is a place that documents all the messages that can be sent (eg. play, pause, removeFrameAtIndex) that would be AWESOME. I can see the messages pop up in Xcode's codehints, but no idea what some of them do or how to use them. Also, I'm still using the 0.9 codebase (started on a big project a week before 1.0 came out and am cautious not to break anything by updating)

Once again, if I'm missed the place where the documentation exists I apologize. Thanks in advance.

clip.currentFrame = x; // jump to frame x

[clip pause]; // stop movie playback

As far as I know, there is no API documentation available.
But there is a place that documents all the 'messages' that can be sent: the header file.
If you want to know what they do, you can also look at the implementation. The sparrow code is very clean and straight forward. In most cases you should be able to get an idea what the methods do.

Just in case you don't know it: there is also a nice introduction to Sparrow available here:

http://www.sparrow-framework.org/help/documentation/

And it is also worth to read the blog:

I hope that helps.

Thanks a bunch. The Documentation page and blog are the first places I look. Just couldn't find anything on frame jumping. Now I have the power.

Normally when i have this problems i open the sourcecode of sparrow and check it out, it's very easy to read
