public class ZAudioAnimation

extends ZAnimation

ZAudioAnimation is designed to make it easy to synchronize an audio clip with another animation. ZAudioAnimation does not really animate but it overrides the animationStarted and animationStarted methods and starts and stops it audio clip from within those methods.

To synchronize audio with an animation just create a new ZAudioAnimation with the audio clip that is wanted, and schedule the audio animation with the same ZAlpha object that is used for the other animation. This will cause the audio to start and end at the exact same time as the animation it is being synchronized to.
