Hi,  
Got a problem with animation.

I suck all animations from json:

> this.load.animation(‘animations’, ‘src/assets/sprite-sheets/multipack/animations.json’);  
> I create sprite and setTexture form multiatlas:  
> star.setTexture(“multiatlas”, “black\_Star”);

and it works great.  
then I want to play animation on it.  
Got many stars frames diff colours and so on.  
so I write:

> star.play("yellow\_star\_anim);

It works, I got my animation playing \<3  
**Problem starts here:**  
Right now I need to go back to my origin texture “black\_Star”.  
I tried:

> star.stop();  
> star.setFrame(“black\_Star”);  
> but in console.log I got a message that frame is missing.

I need to play an animation, stop it and return to origin created sprite texture frame.

If you switched textures then I assume you need to do `setTexture(…)` again.
