I’m trying to animate from a texture atlas. but my texture atlas is grouped according to animation sequence per png. for example: ‘capguy\_east-west\_walk.png’ would contain all the frames for the walk sequence but it is embedded in the atlas…

How do I get the frame names or equivalent from the atlas so I can create the anims?

note: I followed this [tutorial](https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker/tutorials/how-to-create-sprite-sheets-for-phaser3) but the texture I’m working with would have all the animations under one png file called ‘capguy\_east-west\_walk.png’ instead of a folder of single png files.
