  }
  { Scene_Root }
 }

For the { Scene_Root } node, the reference manual doesn't mention about

this node. What does this node refer to?

From the doc,

Contains animations referencing a previous frame. It should contain one reference to a frame and at least one set of AnimationKey templates. It also can contain an AnimationOptions data object.

Why does animations refer to a previous frame?

Thanks

Jack

Hello This may help. Link its down near the bottom of the page.

the scene root contains all the frames.

The animation contains the frame the animation data is to be apply to not previous frame.

And here on GameDev

nice looking article, I will dig into it later, I am working on other stuff right now.

Thanks for the input

Jack
