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 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();

Could someone please help and show me how to loop an animation twice? Sorry I am a beginner.

I am using flash cc and have created an animation. I just need some help on how to loop the movie twice and stop. Thanks.

Try this...
In frame 1 put the following code:
     var count;
In the last frame put the following code:
     if(!count){
           count = 1;
     } else {
           stop();

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...

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.

Issue with looping swf animation - conflicting settings

I have a captivate project where I use a click box “stop” to inhibit the slide from moving to the next slide. (The click box set to no action, pause until user clicks.)
This forces the user (using the player control) to click the “forward” button to advance to the next slide. This is by design.
I have a Flash swf file embedded in one of the slides. This Flash file does not have a stop function. It is meant to continuously play (loop). I also have this Flash file set to loop in the Captivate project file.
The problem is this…
The click box “stop” (pause until user clicks) seems to be causing the SWF animation file to stop at the end of the slide. I want it to keep playing.
Does anyone have any idea as to how to do this? Is it even possible since I am essentially giving conflicting commands?
I suppose I could embed another SWF file (that would command the Captivate slide to stop) but I am unsure how to script the swf to pause the Captivate project. I could also use an animated gif, but I would like to use a swf file if possible.
Any ideas?

Hi 1970Skylark,
I still haven't been able to figure out the mechanism, but I have been able to determine something rather interesting (but mystifying).
If I take and drop a SWF (set to loop) or animated gif (set to loop infinitely) directly on a Captivate slide, and include a click box "stop" like I usually do, then when the slide timeline reaches the "stop" both types of animations stop.
However, if I first drop either of those animations and drop them in a PowerPoint slide, then import the slide into the Captivate project, then the animations continually play (even though the slide timeline might be at its end).
I haven't a clue as to why importing the PowerPoint slide changes the play behaviors of the animation, but it does. The problem with this approach is that I want to keep the file size of the project files down. Importing PowerPoint slides seems to cause some serious file size increases that I want to avoid.

Looping an animation

Hi everyone,
Im new to the forum and to Flash but Ive already checked out a bunch of books on Flash from the library. I still havent figured out this one thing thats been troubling me.
I was wondering how to loop an animation. For example, an escalator animation. Ive drawn in the escalator shown from the bottom and now I want to motion tween it to where the stairs move down. How do I loop it so that when the stairs that I drew are starting to go down, they simultaneously start at the top again. Does this involve 2 drawings of the same thing? Also any tips on easily scaling these types of point of view animations?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Normally, if you create a movieclip that animates along a timeline, it will automatically loop unless you place a stop(); command in the last frame.
If you are using Flash to draw the animation, due to the vector graphics, it will scale quite nicely. If you are using bitmap images, then you don't have as much freedom.

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

How to have slide show play automatic and then stop?

How do I get my iMovie to burn to iDVD without a theme and play when inserted into a DVD player automatically once and then stop?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Slideshow Reverse then Stop or Pause

Not sure how to enable an action that both Reverses the motion of the timeline .. then stops at a certain point without having a hard stop on the timeline itself but instead on the action of the button that is being clicked.. I'm not a developer.
I've had a nice slideshow made up and know how to set the buttons to go back and forth from position but need it to keep the animation when going backwards (or reversing) instead having the hard stops, I want the transitions that I've made then a pause only when I trigger a Next or Back arrow. So I need this slideshow to play automatically at first.
You can view it here: http://edge.thndrbolt.com/BlurrrsSlider/BlurrrsSlider.html
Please wait till the 2nd slide ... hit the back arrow .. it Reverses but doesn't pause! I know you can put 'stops' on the timeline .. but I need it to stop based on the button's action instead after it reverses. Does this make sense?

Hi, Gregory-
I wrote a tutorial a little while ago that might help you in solving your problem. It describes how to create a simple state model to help you decide which action to take when you hit a point in the timeline by using variables.

Search for "state managment."

IPod updates, then stops at the very end

My iPod Touch 8GB third generation will get to the very end of updating, and then stop updating. I left my computer on for 4 hours letting it update, still frozen at the same spot. This is what it looks like, " http://www.flickr.com/photos/51348092@N02/4722690727/ " I've tried this 9 times. I've restarted my ipod twice, my Macbook Pro once. When I unplug the iPod I get the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Twice I've gotten error 1603, but it randomly happens. I would show my iPod screen, if I could take a screenshot
I think Apple murdered my iPod.

Apple's manufacture warranty that comes for new devices is 1 yr. You can pay for extended care but is probably not recommended since by that time you will probably want to get a new one anyways.

Animation won't stop

i created a simple flash animation with a piece of artwork
and a piece of text. i'm using it as a header on a website. i want
it to play once and then stop, but it keeps repeating. can anyone
tell me how to make it play just once?
you can check it out here.
http://interactiverealty.yourkwagent.com/

please be kind to a newbie. this is my first time using flash
and i really don't know where the action script panel is. i did go
to the properties of the element and sync stop and repeat 0, but
that didn't seem to change anything. btw i animated these elements
by using insert timeline effects tool.

Hi Vittorio--
Look in either the MacBook Pro or Leopard forums. I'm running late and I can't look up a specific thread, but your problem sounds like a similar one that people are saying is cured by making sure the ethernet port is active as part of your network setup, even if you're not using it.

Loop between animation on edge and external slider

Hello guys, anyone can share me a snippet for ,i have a div where is my animation maked non edge , i need when this animation finish load in the same div a slider gallery maked with a external plugin on jquery i am thinking on lazy load cos is like 120 photos each one 1920x815 pixels, when the gallery finish load again my animation and then the gallery looping betwen both. I am more designer than programmer so i need a hand guys. Thans for all
pd. Sorry for my bad english :)

Hi,
I usually just add the Reverse Proxy and Edge SAN's to the same public cert, but thats just me. There is no problem using a cert across Edge and a separate cert across RP. If you do, remember to mark the cert as exportable when requesting.
Edge Public Cert
The easiest way to do this is to add a multi-server Edge pool in the Topology builder. Add your Edge servers to this pool. You will find that when running through step 3 of the Deployment Wizard the cert SAN's will be populated with the Pool FQDN's for access,
Web Conf and AV.
You dont need to add access1 and access2 etc.
So perhaps your Edge cert will look more like this:-
Public Edge Cert
SN
-access.const.com
SAN
-access.const.com
-sip.const.com
-conf.const.com
I would just add the Reverse Proxy SAN's to that as follows:-
SAN
webext.const.com
meet.const.com
dialin.const.com
Lyncdiscover.const.com
You will see that I dropped all the .local entries. This is no longer permitted (.local on a public cert).
What else is required externally?
Public DNS, unless your DMZ DNS is resolving queries from the internet it won't do.
