 If you are not using `FlameGame`, don't forget this component needs to be updated, because the
 animation object needs to be ticked to move the frames.
 
+To listen when the animation is done (when it reaches the last frame and is not looping) you can
+use `animation.completed`.
+
+Example:
+
+```dart
+await animation.completed; 
+doSomething();
+
+// or alternatively
+
+animation.completed.whenComplete(doSomething);
+```
