I am trying to use the animated tilemap plugin: [https://github.com/nkholski/phaser-animated-tiles](https://github.com/nkholski/phaser-animated-tiles)  
(even referenced by a photonstorm blog entry: [https://phaser.io/news/2018/03/phaser-3-animated-tiles-plugin](https://phaser.io/news/2018/03/phaser-3-animated-tiles-plugin))

I try to import it this way:

in my preload():

```
    this.load.plugin('AnimatedTiles', 'lib/AnimatedTiles.min.js');

```

and in the create():

```
  (<any>this.sys).install('AnimatedTiles');

```

This runs into:

```
Uncaught TypeError: this.plugins.installLocal is not a function
install phaser.js:41009
Gameplay.create Game.ts:131
create phaser.js:81071
loadComplete phaser.js:80984
emit phaser.js:2337
loadComplete phaser.js:120224
fileProcessComplete phaser.js:120190
onProcessComplete phaser.js:4505
data.onload phaser.js:11129
Async call from load

```

Is this a phaser3 bug?  
Does anyone have this plugin up and running?

My phaser Info:

```
 Test / Phaser v3.16.2 (WebGL | Web Audio) https://phaser.io
```

i have currently the same issue using webpack - i used this plugin a couple years ago already and it worked fine - dunno what i’m doing wrong.
