You've reached a page on the Ren'Py wiki. Due to massive spam, the wiki hasn't been updated in over 5 years, and much of the information here is very out of date. We've kept it because some of it is of historic interest, but all the information relevant to modern versions of Ren'Py has been moved elsewhere.
Some places to look are:

A displayable that draws an animation with each frame separated by a transition.
This takes arguments such that the 1st, 4th, 7th, ... arguments are displayables, the 2nd, 5th, 8th, ... arguments are times, and the 3rd, 6th, 9th, ... are transitions.
This displays the first displayable for the given time, then transitions to the second displayable using the given transition, and shows it for the given time (the time of the transition is taken out of the time the frame is shown), and so on.
A transition may be None, to specify no transition should be used.
The last argument may be a transition (in which case that transition is used to transition back to the first frame), or a displayable (which is shown forever).
Not all transitions can be used with this. (Most notably, the various forms of can't.)
There is one keyword argument, apart from the usual style properties:
anim_timebase - If True, the default, use the animation timebase. Otherwise, use the displayable timebase.
init:
image my_animation = anim.TransitionAnimation("frame1.png", 2.0, dissolve,
"frame2.png", 2.0, dissolve)
