How to add an Animated sprite to a button?

Hi
Anyone know how to add an animated sprite to a button?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do you need this to work?
Do you want an animation playing all the time, and then to swap between different animations?

Hi
Sorry about the late clarification.
Basically I just want to put an animated particle sprite - a candle flame on a candle that is part of a buttons image. It would simply loop continuously, no swapping from one animation to another - just a single animation.

I've attached the button image so you can get a better idea of what I'm after.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can separate the candle out of the image, all you'll need to do is place an animated sprite as a child of the button, and position it correctly. Otherwise, you'll need two sets of animations - one pressed and one up to represent the normal state - and syncing the animations is going to be a bit of a pain, but doable.

Ok, thanks, that should work. I appreciate the help.
