iOS Image/Sprite Animation?

[Scott Rossi]

What exactly are you trying to animate?  If you provide some details, a
suggestion might be easier.

If you're not already, look at the acceleratedRendering property and the
layerMode of the object/s you're trying to animate.

If you're replacing frames of a rectangular region, you might be able to
manually update an image object using the individual frames of the
animation.
