Loop movie twice then stop

I want to play my Flash movie twice then stop at the final frame. The stop() action script does not allow a set number of loops. What action script do I use?

In the first frame declare a counting variable and assign it a value of zero if it has no value...
var count;
if(!count){
     count = 0;
Then,in the last increment the count and test it to see if it equals 2... when it does, stop();
count += 1;
if(count == 2){
stop();

    How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

  • Looping an animation twice then stop

    I have a banner that needs to play twice and then stop. Its 15 seconds and besides copying all the frames and pasting at the end to get this effect I want to do it with AS. Currently the animation is four mc's appearing at different frames in the main timeline. I figure using the if and else statements like if (should I create one movieclip for the entire animation and call it _mc_1) so if_mc_1 plays +++3 then stop?
    something to this effect.
    any help?
    thx

    Yes, using a flag variable is probably your best bet. At frame 1 you'd do something like:
    var loopCounter:int = 0;
    And then at the end of your animation, on frame n, you would do like:
    loopCounter++;
    if(loopCounter < 2){
         gotoAndPlay(2);
    You go to 2, because if you go to 1 you'll reset the variable.

  • Loop then stop Flash CS3 vs Flash CS5

    I recently upgraded from Flash CS3 to CS5. I'm creating a banner in Flash CS5 using ActionScript 2.0. I want it to loop 3 times then stop. I'm using the same code as I did in CS3. When I view it using Flash Player, its fine but my client is saying it loops continuously when they view it. Has the code changed since CS3? Here is the code I'm currently using:
    ON FIRST FRAME I ENTERED:
    var count;
    if(!count){
         count = 0;
     THEN ON THE LAST FRAME I ENTERED:  
    count += 1;
    if(count == 3){
    stop();
    I'm Action Script challenged, so please be specific. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello kglad,
    Thanks for confirming that the script was fine. Seems like there was something wrong with the swf file, not the script. Thanks for ruling out the script as the problem source.

  • Single start/stop button for looping movie

    Dear Friends,
    I apologize if this has been addressed already in the forum, as I have had no luck searching here or the web in general for a solution.
    I currently have a 23-frame multilayered single-scene animation designed to loop continuously which I would like to add to my portfolio. As such, I am adding a Play button, which I would like to toggle to a Stop (or Pause) button. I currently have an instance of the Play button ("playButton") created.
    (You can find this at pineboxmovingco.com/gear_redux.swf)
    Besides imploring your assistance in providing the code, I must also ask if this requires (and best practice for) inserting an additional frame at the beginning for the ActionScript, as well as where/what layer to add an instance of the Stop button. I would like the movie to be stopped by default, presenting the Play button, toggling to the Stop button, and back to the Play button, each upon release.
    Thank you so much in advance!

    So, Ned, insert the stop(); command - with no other code - on each keyframe of the MC like so:
    Then, return to Scene 1 and select the MC, inserting the code:
    With an additional "stop" command in the first frame:
    I must be missing something as it is continues to loop. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated...

  • I have just started with apple tv. I rented and downloaded a movie from itunes on my macbook pro and tried to watch it. I got the movie up, but it only played a picture for about 3 seconds and then stopped, also no sound? What am I doing wrong?

    Please help me play a rented itunes video on apple tv. Have a pictue and movie runs for about three seconds, and then stops. No sound? But I can play any music from my library with sound?

    Is the movie still buffering? you may have a slow internet connection. Music files require far less bandwidth than movies.

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    If it's not formatted as such you'll need to reformat it after backing up what's on there now.

  • Looping movie clip stops in middle

    I am using a movie clip as part of a game. It's a clip of a
    spaceman walking.
    When the game is being played, the movie seems to loop one
    time (the spaceman walks one cycle), and on the second time around
    the animation seems to stop right in the middle of the cycle. it
    always stops on the same frame.
    What is happening here?
    Thank you

    Okay, great, and what about the last line? What is that for?
    Do i put my keylistener info after that line?
    I'm still a little puzzled about where to put the script that
    you just offered me.
    But before I get to that, let me ask you a question about my
    current code. Below I've pasted the beginning of the code that I
    have for Key Down. My question is: Is this code going to execute
    over and over again? Is this code a "key listener"?
    _root.onKeyDown = function() {
    ///keyDOWN!!!
    whichKey = Key.getAscii();
    if ((whichkey == _root.jumpkey) or (whichkey ==
    _root.jumpkeycaps)) {
    if (_root.mov == "walkleft") {
    _root.mov = "jumpleft";
    _root.vertspeed = 24;
    if (_root.mov == "walkright") {
    _root.mov = "jumpright";
    _root.vertspeed = 24;
    if (mov.toLowerCase().indexOf("stop") != -1) {
    _root.mov = "jumpup";
    _root.vertspeed = 24;
    }

  • I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
    The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
    Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

    There could be problems with the iPod's file structures so it might pay to check it for errors. Try putting the iPod in disk mode thus; hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Close iTunes if it's open. Once in disk mode connect to your computer, then browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of successfully transfering files.

  • Need a clip to loop a few seconds then stop

    I am new to this stuff so play nice, please.
    I have a movieclip that has about 18 frames.
    On the last frame I have a script to goto and play at frame
    8.
    This works fine.
    What I need is to have it keep looping and then stop after
    like 10 seconds.
    so if someone could edit this code that would be great:
    gotoAndPlay(8);
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Put this code in first frame of your animation.
    var a = 0;
    function time(){
    a++
    if(a == 10){
    stop();
    clearInterval(timeInterval);
    timeInterval = setInterval(time, 1000); // 1000 = 1 second
    I hope this help...
