Description

I'm hoping to have a way of firing animation events from animated sprites in the same way that you can with skeletal animation tracks.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing skeletal animation track event behavior and the animated sprite animation entry points. Compare how events are represented and triggered, then verify that animated sprites can fire equivalent events at the intended animation points with coverage for the new behavior.
