Error: Unable to find an animation named "[name]"

Game lab throws me an Error about not seeing a sprite.

var sprite = createSprite(200, 200);
sprite.setAnimation("animation_1");

^ This is the code I used, pretty simple.
I get “ERROR: Line: 2: Error: Unable to find an animation named “animation_1”. Please make sure the animation exists.” Although I have this sprite with such name.
image Why is this happening?

By default, the sprite.setAnimation is set to animation_1, I recommend to students that they rename the animation to be more descriptive then choose it from the drop down list.
Also, If you have more than 1 sprite, make sure they each have different var names, sprite1 srite2 …
Hope this helps
