moving sprite animation - cocos2d-iphone

Question

i have a cocos2d world, and a sprite/body that is moving fast .
when contact occur i am calling animation function.
The problem is , that when the animation is running in the current sprite position, the sprite was already gone to another place so animation is not in right place:
how would i run this animation function to follow my sprite ?
code:
-(void)animation:(NSString *)animation
{
NSLog(#"check:%#",animation);
[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.plist",animation]];
sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_00000.png",animation]]; //take the corrdinates of this picture from the plist
sprite.position=boy.position;
//sprite.position=ccp(160,175);
CCSpriteBatchNode *spriteSheet = [ CCSpriteBatchNode batchNodeWithFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.png",animation]];
[spriteSheet addChild:sprite]; //add this coordinates from the spritesheet to the screen
[self addChild:spriteSheet];
NSString *Path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *animPath = [Path stringByAppendingPathComponent: [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.plist", animation]];
NSDictionary *animSpriteCoords = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: animPath];
NSDictionary *animFramesData = [animSpriteCoords objectForKey:#"frames"];
int b=0;
int a=0;
NSMutableArray *animFrames = [NSMutableArray array];
for(int i = 1; i < [animFramesData count]; i++)
{
a=a+1;
if(a==10)
{
b=b+1;
a=0;
}
CCSpriteFrame *frame = [[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] spriteFrameByName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_000%0i%1i.png",animation,b,a]]; //[NSString stringWithFormat:#"eye_blinking_0000%1d.png",i]
[animFrames addObject:frame];
}
//CCAnimation *dollAnimation = [CCAnimation animation];
CCAnimation* dollAnimation = [CCAnimation animationWithFrames:animFrames delay:0.1f];
//CCAnimation *dollAnimation = [CCAnimation animationWithName:#"dance" animationWithFrames:animFrames];
//[dollAnimation setDelay:0.1f];
CCAnimate * Action = [CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:dollAnimation];
id call=[CCCallFunc actionWithTarget:self selector:#selector(finishAnimation)];
id sequence=[CCSequence actions:Action,[CCHide action],call,nil];
[sprite runAction:sequence];
}
thnaks a lot.

Answer 1

CCFollow will have the animation sprite follow the boy sprite:
id follow = [CCFollow actionWithTarget:boy];
[sprite runAction:follow];
Alternative is to continuously update the animation sprite's position to that of the boy position (sprite.position = boy.position) in a scheduled update method.
