I’m using a Sprite which has an AnimatedTexture, with its pause attribute set to true.

At some point I want to start the animation, so I execute:

$Sprite.texture.pause = false

The animation starts indeed, though not immediately but after a delay of about 1 sec.
How can I get the animation to start right away?
