title: CCSprite anchorPoint not working as expected?
body: <p>Let me start by explaining what I am trying to do. I have a full screen animation with about 73 frames and with these images being so large I am not able to use sprite sheets so I am just adding them to an animation as seperate spriteframes. My goal is to have the animation play through and then have it disappear from left to right. The way that I am achieving this look is by updating the width of the (textureRect) of the frames and eventually making the textureRect width 0. So I have set up the CCSprite that I am going to run the animation on.</p>
  
  <pre><code>-(id) init {
  
      if( (self=[super init])) {
  
          self.transSprite = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"transition0.pvr.ccz"];
  
          if (CC_CONTENT_SCALE_FACTOR() == 1) {
  
              //iPhone 3Gs
  
              self.transSprite.scaleX = .563;
              self.transSprite.scaleY = .665;
  
              self.transSprite.position = ccp(self.transSprite.contentSize.height - 3, -1);
              self.transSprite.anchorPoint = ccp(1, 0);
              [self addChild:self.transSprite z:5];
  
          }
  
          else if (kiPhone5) {
  
              //iPhone 5
  
              self.transSprite.scale = self.transSprite.scale * 1.335f;
  
              self.transSprite.position = ccp(569, -1);
              self.transSprite.anchorPoint = ccp(1, 0);
              [self addChild:self.transSprite z:5];
  
          }
  
          else {
  
              //iPhone 4
  
              self.transSprite.scaleX = 1.126;
              self.transSprite.scaleY = 1.33;
  
              self.transSprite.position = ccp(481, -1);
              self.transSprite.anchorPoint = ccp(1, 0);
              [self addChild:self.transSprite z:5];
  
          }
  
      }
  
      return self;
  }

  <p>So the reason for checking what device is running, is because I did not make 2 versions of the animation frames HD and SD. Instead I just made them a good in between size and then I check to see what device is running and scale the sprite accordingly. So here is my problem I am setting the Sprites anchorPoint to the bottom right hand corner of the screen so that when I change the width of the textureRect it will decrease in size from left to right. Everything seems to be working great with this idea except for when I change the width of the textureRect of each sprite frame.</p>
  
  <pre><code>- (void) rectUpdate3Gs {
  
      for (CCAnimationFrame *frame in transition.frames) {
          frame.spriteFrame.rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 856, 484);
      }
  
  }
  
  - (void) retinaRectUpdate {
  
      for (CCAnimationFrame *frame in transition.frames) {
          frame.spriteFrame. rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 428, 242);
  
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So when I run the animation and start to change the width of the textureRect it decreases from both the left and the right side, it is like the anchorPoint is being ignored. Do the spriteFrames have there own anchorPoint or what is happening.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an illustration of what is happening.This is the CCSprite set up for the full texture and with the anchorPoint in the bottom right corner.

  <pre><code>   self.transSprite.scaleX = .563;
      self.transSprite.scaleY = .665;
  
      self.transSprite.position = ccp(self.transSprite.contentSize.height - 3, -1);
      [self addChild:self.transSprite z:5];
      [self.transSprite setTextureRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 856, 484)];
      self.transSprite.anchorPoint = ccp(1, 0);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now this is setting the textureRect of the CCSprite a little smaller.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/d8svg.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>This is the way that I want it to work, is to subtract the width of the texture from the left to right. But when I change the width of the animation frames to match this subtracted width this is what I get.</p>

  <p>I am at a loss as to why this is happening. Do the animation frames not respect the anchor point of the CCSprite they are running on?</p>
