Can multiple AtlasSprite share a loaded file to save memory?

I have cut up a character into head/body/feet to programatically animate it. All parts are in a single atlas file. I do not want to take the memory to load the same file three times for three different AltasSprites. Is there a way multiple atlassprites can share the same loaded file? Or, is there a way to create a standard sprite from a portion of an atlassprite?

Thanks,

Aaron

You can create as many AtlasSpriteManager as you want from the same image file, it will only load the image once in memory. In fact, the same goes for any Texture2D handled by the TextureMgr.

awesome. I was looking more into it and I missed the AtlasSpriteManager entirely. That answers a lot, you can have as many atlasSprites off the same manager.
