[Issue] set animation frame must be int number, no error alert

I got report from my customer if the C3 game I sell is buggy in latest C3.

It's take half hour to figure out why

"set animation frame" to string number no longer works, I should wrap it with int() to make it work again. but there is no error, no warning, and I still can put string number like this = "2", no error/warning and not working.

I'm not following latest C3 changes, is this a new rule? or a bug?

If it's a new rule, can C3 team just revert it back? or just put a string to int conversion for compatibility.

I don't want update dozens of C3 projects to apply new rules.

Yeah, see this post:

It's weird that Scirra devs who are always so cautious about backward compatibility, have made this change, which can potentially break many old projects.
