Storyboard animation

[James W. <jfc...@ya...>]

Hi all,
 
Is it possible to use story-board style images to create animation in Pipmak?
To elaborate:
All the frames of an animation are pasted together and lined up in an image, and saved as a JPEG. The advantage to this would be(I think) that because the frames are in a single file, and therfore encoded together, it would both produce a smaller file and a faster decompression then a normal still image sequence. What I don't understand is how to get it to play back. I was thinking maybe fooling with the margins of a patch? What does everyone think?
 
Thanks, 
  James
