a way to improve @krs answer if you want pass a parameter: 

  local function callNextFrame(target) 
    target:nextFrame() 
  end 

  function play_anim( event ) 
    local listener = function() return callNextFrame( event.target ) end 
    timer.performWithDelay(100,listener,24) 
  end

Movieclip is deprecated in favor of imageSheets and Sprites where you can have better control over the timing. There is a variant of movieclip.lua out there that lets you specify a delay, but it's an unsupported version.

You can use myAnim:nextFrame() with the help of a timer for this purpose. Try the following code:

local movieclip = require("movieclip")

local myAnim = movieclip.newAnim{"cube1.png", "cube2.png", "cube3.png", "cube4.png", "cube5.png", "cube6.png"}
myAnim.x = 160
myAnim.y = 240
localGroup:insert( myAnim )

For fast transition between frames, you can use:

local function callNextFrame()
   myAnim:nextFrame()
end
timer.performWithDelay(10,callNextFrame,-1)

For slow transition between frames, you can use:

local function callNextFrame()
  myAnim:nextFrame()
end
timer.performWithDelay(1000,callNextFrame,-1)
