# ImageAnimator >![](../../public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** >This component is supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. The **** component enables images to be played frame by frame. The list of images to be played can be configured, and the duration of each image can be configured. ## Required Permissions None ## Child Components None ## APIs ImageAnimator\(\) ## Attributes

Name	Type	Default Value	Mandatory	Description
images	Array<{ src:string, width?:Length, height?:Length, top?:Length, left?:Length, duration?:number }>	[]	Yes	Image frame information. The information of each frame includes the image path, image size, image position, and image playback duration. The detailed description is as follows: src: image path. The image format can be SVG, PNG, or JPG. width: image width. height: image height. top: vertical coordinate of the image relative to the upper left corner of the component. left: horizontal coordinate of the image relative to the upper left corner of the component. duration: playback duration of the image, in ms.
state	AnimationStatus	Initial	No	Playback status of the animation. The default status is Initial.
duration	number	1000	No	Playback duration, in ms. The default duration is 1000 ms. When the duration is 0, no image is played. The value change takes effect only at the beginning of the next cycle. When a separate duration is set in images, the setting of this attribute is invalid.
reverse	boolean	false	No	Playback sequence. The value false indicates that images are played from the first one to the last one, and true indicates that images are played from the last one to the first one.
fixedSize	boolean	true	No	Whether the image size is the same as the component size. true: The image size is the same as the component size. In this case, the width, height, top, and left attributes of the image are invalid. false: The width, height, top, and left attributes of each image must be set separately.
preDecode	number	0	No	Whether to enable pre-decoding. The default value 0 indicates that pre-decoding is disabled. If this attribute is set to 2, two images following the currently playing frame will be cached in advance to improve performance.
fillMode	FillMode	Forwards	No	Status before and after the animation starts. For details about the options, see FillMode.
iterations	number	1	No	By default, the animation is played once. The value -1 indicates that the animation is played for an unlimited number of times.

- AnimationStatus enums

Name	Description
Initial	The animation is in the initial state.
Running	The animation is being played.
Paused	The animation is paused.
Stopped	The animation is stopped.

- FillMode enums

Name	Description
None	After the playback is complete, the animation restores to the initial state.
Forwards	After the playback is complete, the animation remains in the end state.
Backwards	The attribute value is applied during the period specified by animation-delay and before the animation is played.
Both	Both the Forwards and Backwards values are applied.

## Events

Name		Description
onStart() => void		Triggered when the animation starts to play.
onPause() => void		Triggered when the animation playback is paused.
onRepeat() => void		Triggered when the animation playback is repeated.
onCancel() => void		Triggered when the animation playback is canceled.
onFinish() => void		Triggered when the animation playback is complete.
