The method isn't declared in the class.... but it is?

Hey there, so I'm so close to getting my first animation to work. I keep getting the error that the method of _animated_sprite isn't declared in this scope. It should be, because I declare it at the top. Please advise

extends AnimatedSprite
onready var _animated_sprite= $AnimatedSprite
var velocity = Vector2.ZERO
func manage_animations ():

	if velocity.x > 0:
		_animated_sprite("right")
	elif velocity.x < 0:
		_animated_sprite("left")
	elif velocity.y < 0:
		_animated_sprite("front")
	elif velocity.y > 0:
		_animated_sprite("down")

You're declaring _animated_sprite as a property (variable), but trying to use it as a method (function).

My guess is that:
_animated_sprite("right")
should be:
_animated_sprite.play("right")

But it looks strange that an AnimatedSprite has a child that's also an AnimatedSprite. If there's only one AnimatedSprite node and that script is attached to it, then you don't need the variable _animated_sprite.

If that's the case, change:
_animated_sprite("right")
to:
play("right")
