AnimatedSprite - SpriteFrames

[meniku]

It would be handy if it was possible to create frames from SpriteSheets / TileSets

[reduz]

use regular Sprite, which supports spritesheets.

Bumping this issue because I think AnimatedSprite should also support spritesheets.

It's inconsistent for Sprite to handle spritesheets and AnimatedSprite to handle multiple image sprites. Sprite should be just a simple Node that renders a 2D texture with a definable sub region. It shouldn't also do sprite animations -- that's what AnimatedSprite is for: a sprite that has multiple frames defined by a SpriteFrame and animates it very simply. If users want more customized sprite animations, they can use an AnimationPlayer; otherwise the AnimatedSprite handles majority of animated sprite cases in an easy format.

The other issue with Sprite doing animations, is that animating them requires an AnimationPlayer, which becomes really tedious to adjust the Sprite:frame for each key for each animation (unless I'm unaware of a better method).
