Hi there!
I’m trying to get number of frames in a aseprite file and couldn’t find this function in official Aseprite API help: api/frame.md at master · aseprite/api · GitHub

Could somebody help, please?

thank!

Try this

github.com

aseprite/api/blob/master/api/sprite.md#spriteframes

# Sprite

## Sprite()

```lua
local sprite = Sprite(width, height)
local sprite = Sprite(width, height, colorMode)
local sprite = Sprite(spec)
local sprite = Sprite(otherSprite)
local sprite = Sprite{ fromFile=filename }
local sprite = Sprite{ fromFile=filename, oneFrame }
```

Creates a new sprite with the given `width` and `height`. The
[color mode](colormode.md#colormode) is optional, [RGB](colormode.md#colormodergb)
by default.

The `spec` parameter is an [image specification](imagespec.md#imagespec) object.

If `otherSprite` is given (other `Sprite` object), the sprite is duplicated.

Hi there @costanalobin, you can use the # operator with app.activeSprite.frames:

print(#app.activeSprite.frames)
