ok, so i have my sprite animation working, but now a related question, in my test-animation i had only one sprite so there wasn't a problem but say i have 3 sprites on the screen. i have to keep track of which frame the sprite is showing but what's the best way for doing this. create a info array for each sprite?

You should keep data about all of the objects or entities present (containing their animation frames and what not). Then you can translate that data into sprite/rendering data for displaying them.
