swfsprite() are also known as a "movie clip", this allows one to create objects which are animated in their own timelines. Hence, the sprite has most of the same methods as the movie.

swfsprite() has the following methods : swfsprite->add(), swfsprite->remove(), swfsprite->nextframe() and swfsprite->setframes().

This simple example will spin gracefully a big red square.
