	/** @brief CCSpriteSheet is like a batch node: if it contains children, it will draw them in 1 single OpenGL call
	* (often known as "batch draw").
	*
	* A CCSpriteSheet can reference one and only one texture (one image file, one texture atlas).
	* Only the CCSprites that are contained in that texture can be added to the CCSpriteSheet.
	* All CCSprites added to a CCSpriteSheet are drawn in one OpenGL ES draw call.
	* If the CCSprites are not added to a CCSpriteSheet then an OpenGL ES draw call will be needed for each one, which is less efficient.
	*
	*
	* Limitations:
	*  - The only object that is accepted as child (or grandchild) is CCSprite or any subclass of CCSprite. eg: particles, labels and layer can't be added to a CCSpriteSheet.
	*  - Either all its children are Aliased or Antialiased. It can't be a mix. This is because "alias" is a property of the texture, and all the sprites share the same texture.
	* 
	* @since v0.7.1
	* @deprecated Use CCSpriteBatchNode instead. This class will be removed in v1.1
