animated

I have an animated Sprite that is drawn on the screen when I press the button. However, I want to the animation to start after 5 seconds. Technically, the ver first PNG in the "animation set" is shown and the animation starts after 5 seconds.

I have tried to used the DelayModifier as follows, but without luck:

mySprite.registerEntityModifier(new DelayModifier(500)); //doesn't work

I would appreciate your input.
