   Is there a way to get what frame the animation is on?

   I can get displayFrame which returns the rect but I want the index.

   Am I missing something?

   I don't think so, although I may be wrong.

   If your sprite is subclassed and you are controlling your animation through updating setFrame with a timer and incrementing integer property frame, then just query the frame property. I did this and it works nicely. Let me know if you'd like more info.

   Bumping the original question.

   I am using the Animate action and I am looking for a way to keep track of the current frame number. I tried running a scheduler with the same rate as my animation but it does not seem to sync with the same rate as the animation.

   I'm a complete Cocos2D newbie so I may be doing this completely wrong but if anyone can tell if I'm on the good path with this it would be nice:

   // (Not the exact code, simplified version for explanation purposes)
   animation = [[AtlasAnimation animationWithName:animTag delay:1.0/30.0] retain];
   action = [[RepeatForever actionWithAction:animation] retain];
   [self runAction:action];
   
   frameCount = 0;
   [self schedule:@selector(onUpdate:) interval:1.0/30.0];
   
   // ...
   
   - (void) onUpdate:(ccTime) delta {
   	frameCount++;
   
   	if (frameCount == 10) {
   		[self stopAction:action];
                   // The animation stops on frame 3 after playing
                   // the 10 frames for a first time
   	}
   }
