   Hi I'm trying to create multiple animated characters from a for loop and I can't get it to work when I try to loop it. like so.

   while(i <= 3)
   	{
   		AtlasSprite *sprite = [AtlasSprite spriteWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 85, 121) spriteManager: mgr];
   		[mgr addChild:sprite];
   		sprite.position = ccp( 100, 100);
   		id action = [RepeatForever actionWithAction:[Animate actionWithAnimation: animation]];
   		[sprite runAction:action];
   	}

   Right now the only way i can do it is like this

   AtlasSprite *sprite = [AtlasSprite spriteWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 85, 121) spriteManager: mgr];
   			[mgr addChild:sprite];
   			sprite.position = ccp( 100, 100);
   			id action = [RepeatForever actionWithAction:[Animate actionWithAnimation: animation]];
   			[sprite runAction:action];
   
   		AtlasSprite *spriteB = [AtlasSprite spriteWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 85, 121) spriteManager: mgr];
   		[mgr addChild:spriteB];
   		spriteB.position = ccp( 200, 100);
   		id actionB = [RepeatForever actionWithAction:[Animate actionWithAnimation: animation]];
   		[spriteB runAction:actionB];

   I'm guessing that the code above is an approximation of your code, right? since there's no "i++" in your loop. Looks ok to me. I'd say try two things
   - put your sprite's at slightly different positions
   - create the animation action in the loop as well.

   while(i <= 3)
   {
     // added line.
     Animation *animation = ....
   
     AtlasSprite *sprite = [AtlasSprite spriteWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 85, 121) spriteManager: mgr];
     [mgr addChild:sprite];
   
     // changed line
     sprite.position = ccp( i * 100, 100);
   
     id action = [RepeatForever actionWithAction:[Animate actionWithAnimation: animation]];
     [sprite runAction:action];
   
     // added line
     i++;
   }
