I have managed to create a flip book face for a character the face is looped it has only 3 faces in 3 different columns.  
How do I use the right nodes to select each column or face at a time. Let’s say if I named each column 1 2 and 3 and I could type in somewhere the number and the correct face would appear on my character. I want to go back fourth between frames or columns I’m sure it’s possible? Maybe a if statement node?

In the material, use a flipbook node. You can put a parameter in that controls this node.

Make a material instance from this. The material instance parameter can be controller from blueprint.
