To create an animation like this, you must first create a series of images. Then, to play those images back easily, the images must be preloaded into arrays.
First define these variables, which define the delay and total number of images:
delay = 100; <-- delay time of the animations (.1 sec.)
imgNumber = 0; <-- number of the image in the animation
totalimgNumber = 8; <-- total number of images
anim = new Array(); <-- images array
Next, preload all of the images into an arrays; this can be done very efficiently using a for loop.
for (i = 0; i < totalimgNumber; i++) {
anim[i] = new Image (239, 390);
anim[i].src = 'wave' + (i + 1) + '.gif';
}
