UIImage Animation delay Array - objective-c

Question

i found this code which is very helpful to avoid delay at first animation:
NSMutableArray *menuanimationImages = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int aniCount = 1; aniCount < 21; aniCount++) {
NSString *fileLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: [NSString stringWithFormat: #"bg%i", aniCount + 1] ofType: #"png"];
// here is the code to pre-render the image
UIImage *frameImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: fileLocation];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(frameImage.size);
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, frameImage.size.width, frameImage.size.height);
[frameImage drawInRect:rect];
UIImage *renderedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
[menuanimationImages addObject:renderedImage];
}
settingsBackground.animationImages = menuanimationImages;
But i want to use the same image sometimes - can i fill within the code above my array manually via
testArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"test_001.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"test_002.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"test_001.png"],
nil];
Thanks for ideas!

Yes you can by using this
UIImageView * animatedImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200,200)];
testArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"test_001.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:#"test_002.png"],[UIImage imageNamed:#"test_001.png"],nil];
animTime =3.0;
[animatedImageView setAnimationImages:testArray] ;
animatedImageView.animationDuration = animTime;
animatedImageView.animationRepeatCount = 1;
[self.view addSubview: animatedImageView];
[animatedImageView startAnimating];
