    <desc>Returns the length of the animation with the given name, or <code>nil</code> if there is no such animation. Valid positions (for <funclink>PlayAnimation</funclink> and <funclink>SetAnimationPosition</funclink>) include values between 0 and the animation length. The returned number corresponds to the animation length (as specified in the modelling tool) in milliseconds.</desc>

      <example>
        <code><funclink>PlayAnimation</funclink>(&quot;Turn&quot;, 5, <funclink>Anim_Linear</funclink>(0, 0, <funclink>GetAnimationLength</funclink>(&quot;Turn&quot;), 50, ANIM_Loop), <funclink>Anim_Const</funclink>(1000));</code>
        <text>Plays a new animation named "Turn" in slot 5 which superimposes other animations in slot 5. One animation cycle lasts 50 frames. After that time the animation restarts from the beginning.</text>
