Good JavaScript engine for animating via Sprite Sheets (not in canvas)

Question

I've looked around a bit for a great JavaScript Sprite Sheet animator lib/engine but couldn't find any good ones so I thought I'd ask around =).

What I'm looking for in the engine is:

1. Animate an image in a non-canvas setting (ex: div via css or img tags)
2. Control frame rate/animation speed
3. Flags to loop or to animate once etc.

Are there any engines like this out there? If not I can always make my own but then again, I don't want to re-invent the wheel =].

Answer 1

I've used Spritely in the past and been successful. They give you a pretty healthy amount of control over the animation process. And besides, even if you don't find it useful, I'm sure you may find a good use for it sometime later down the road.
