TGEA IFLs and skins

Simple question, are IFLs and skins still supported in TGEA? That is, without user-submitted resources.

Rarely are there simple questions with TGEA. ;)

new Material(TestIFL)
{
   mapTo = "explosion.ifl";
   baseTex[0] = "exp_seq0000.png";
   translucent = true;
   emissive = true;
};

Modify as needed.

Thanks Eric, but does this mean that ifl animations can no longer be called arbitrarily from script? Will the script you posted act like a sequence material, or is a call to playthread() required?

AFAIK, you can just play them like normal.
