Does anybody know if there's a way to finish a long animation of an active object instantly, instead of waiting for it to finish. The reason why it would be useful is that after the animation is finished, it is released from being redrawn and will be much faster. The problem is that if your object has say 50 animation frames, it'll take some time to finish, even if the anim speed is 100.
The best way I have found so far is to change its animation frame to the last frame and then use "restore animation frame" to get the animation moving again. This way it works almost perfectly, finishing 1 loop after triggered, but does still not finish on the same loop, which means the other events will have to be started one loop later and there will be a one-loop-long but still noticeable flash of the last anim frame.

I still have no idea when this would be useful to do, but I guess you could try a fastloop and just force the object's animation frame to its frame+1 until it's done.
Or, I suppose you could have the object start invisible, then become visible when its animation is done. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess.

Couldn't you just change the animation sequence instead?
