copying from the Maya manual I have a 12 frame sprite image sequence cycling but need the sprites to stay on for 4 frames each.
current creation expression: flo_particleShape.spriteNumPP = rand (1, 12);
current runtime expression: floparticleShape.spriteNumPP = (floparticleShape.spriteNumPP + 1) % 12;
btw. What is the % doing in this expression?

file1.frameExtension=frame
//puts each frame of image sequence on sequential maya timeline frame.
file1.frameExtension=(frame /n )
//puts each frame of image sequence on every nth maya timeline frame.
file1.frameExtension=((frame /n ) % 12)
//puts each frame of image sequence on every nth maya timeline frame, % loops the sequence.
