    Animated a sprite only on mouse click?

    Hi, My sprite is currently animated, and it's animated the entire time. Is there a way to make the sprite only animate if it detects a mouse click? I have a bunny in my game that hops, and I want it to only hop when I click the mouse to move it forwards. Thanks!
