Number of times an animation loops

I have an animation looping in Edge using a label and a trigger. How can I specify the number of times the animation loops? Currently it cycles endlessly.

Darrell,
Thanks for your patience. Here's a couple a screen captures in my Edge project. It stil loops endlessly. Any thoughts on what I'm missing?

How can I count the number of times a timed loop finished late?

I am getting occasional timing errors in a timed loop under windows XP and would like to count the number of errors, but I can't find a simple software counter vi

The timed loop has a terminal (boolean) to indicate if the previous iteration finished late. Just increment an integer shift register if this happens.
The attached shows a very simple demo (LabVIEW 7.1).

GetURL is triggered when animation loops

I created a simple animation that needs to have a button on one segment of the animation. I created a button with a action of getURL in AS3, the problem I am haing is that every time the animation loops from the first frame it triggers the button and the new page I requested pops up. How can I stop this from happening automatically?

If you show the code you used and explain where you put it, then someone may be able to help.
getURL is not AS3 code, it is AS2, so more is wrong with your design than you probably anticipate. If it is an AS3 file and you use AS2 code you will get an error message.

How to loop an swf a set number of times?

I need to loop a banner animation a set number of times, then
get it to gotoandstop on a final frame. I know in the past I could
use:
counter++; if (counter<5) { gotoAndPlay (1); }
At least for the looping part (don't even know yet about the
stop pon a particular frame part).
but now in Flash 8 I can't get my test swf to do that using
this statement. Am I missing something? (Of course, obviously I am
or I wouldn't be here!)

This works for me as well, but i don't want it to jump to the
final still frame. i need mine to loop three times, then plan
through to the frame i want, stopping there. the frame i want is
not the final frame in the swf. it is somewhere in the middle.
does that make sense?

Loop though foreach a set number of times

Hi Guys
I want to know how I can loop though a foreach loop a set number of times ? I know in a for loop you can set the max number of loops but I don't know how to do it when comes to a foreach loop. Below is the structure of my foreach loop:
for(Letter letter : letters) {
//I want to loop though only 50 objects max at a time
}

List<Letter> prefix = (letters.size() <= limit) ? letters : letters.subList(0, limit);
for(Letter letter : prefix) {
}

Adding a counter that keeps track of the total number of times a loop has run, even if LabVIEW has been restarted.

Hi all,
I am writing a VI for measuring data and inserting it into a database. The measurements are controlled by a loop that runs once every minute. I want to give each measurement a unique id number and store this too in the database.
To do this, I want to add a counter to this loop so that I can count the number of times the loop has executed in total. This is, even if the VI, LabVIEW or even th PC is restarted, I want the counter to keep track of the number of executions. If say, the loope executes two times and then the VI is stopped and restarted, I want the following number on the counter to be three.
Does anyone have an idea about how to do this? I am gratefule for any help!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not allowed to give away code but I can describe one of my "Totalizers" used to keep track of how much stuff has passed through a fliter so we know when to change it.
THe Total izer is implemented as an Action Engine.
It has three actions (methods)
1) Init - Opens an ini file and reads the last values read and cahces these in shift registers. It also inits a timer so we now how long since the last file I/O.
2) Update - Uses the data passed by the caller to update the totals. It also checks how long since the last save and if more than one minute it writes to the ini file (forced write).
3) Read - returns the totals for display and evealuating if a an alarm should be triggered to change the filter.
Note:
THe pre-LV 8.6 version of the ini file exposed methods to allow writing to the file. The new ini functions do not expose that functionality and require closing the file.

Looping a movie clip a specific number of times in Flash

Does anyone know how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline. Does anyone know the code for this?
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline. Please let me know if anyone can help.
Thanks,
Sarah
P.S. Is there a good, easy to use, reference book anyone can recommend for creating specific things in Flash using Action Script? Do you guys have a favorite for beginners like me?

You can use a variable to keep count of how many times you loop, and until it exceeds a particulr value (2 or 3) you execute a setTimeout() call that waits for however long you want to delay and then tells the movieclip to gotoAndPlay(1).
So in the first frame you would establish the counting variable...
var count;
if(count == undefined){ // only set it to 0 once
count = 0;
and in the last frame you would do your incrementing and control....
stop();
count += 1;
if(count < 3){
setTimeout(waitABit, 2000); // call function in 2 secs
function waitABit(){
gotoAndPlay(1);

Execute case structure a certain number of times within a while loop

Hi guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to execute a case structure a specified number of times within a while loop. Basically I'm running a camera where each iteration of the outer while loop displays a frame of a live video feed and I'd like to capture the next x amount of frames (specified by the user) each time the 'Start Capture' button is clicked. The block diagram within the case structure captures and saves an image frame. As the program is written right now, frames will continue to be captured until the 'Start Capture' button is clicked again. Instead of having to click the button again to stop the case structure from executing for each iteration of the while loop, I'd like it to only execute for the next x iterations of the while loop. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Uxorious,
A while loop has a iteration counter that gives an integer value of how many times the loop has iterated. You can utilise this to count the number of frames captured. I assume that the program could be running for any amount of time before clicking start capture, if that is the case then you will need to be able to detect when you have clicked the button and add the desired number of frames you wish to capture to the current loop iteration.
If you use a shift register on the outer loop with the start capture button connected to it (inside the loop) you will be able to compare its current value to its previous value. If it changes from false to true then you can add the desired number of frames to it to give you the loop iteration value where you need to stop.
Then you can compare the current loop iteration value to that number and once reached, you can use a property node to change the value of your start capture button back to false.
One final thing, don't forget to initialise the shift register I suggested to false so that you don't run the risk of missing the first time you press the button.
I hope that makes sense.

Running a java program a set number of times

This is a general question. Is it possible to make a java program run only 5 times for the sake of arguement.
Basically I want to write a program that will give the user some flexibility when it will actually run another Java program, but I only want them to be able to say "not now' for a set number of times. When the last time comes the other program will launch. I was initially thinking of the Do Whilw loop, but this needs to work when the program is restarted.
Program starts, it has 5 times it will run before it does something else(doesn't really matter now I think). User takes option "Not Now" and the program ends, but warns the user this will run 4 more times before you will need to do something.
This process will repeat until the user takes the option "Ok install now" or the time limit expires and the install occurs anyway. Can someone point me in the right direction.

ok I see so it's like one those programs that you download for free on the internet and they give you a set amount times to use it before you have to pay for it. but in this case when the number of times you use it equals 5 (or when the user clicks ok) a different java app will open automatically.
My first thought would be to Write a Serialized object to disk using objectOutputStream that stores the number of times the application has been opened. and each time the program runs it checks for the serialized object and then you can do something like what I posted before. of course if were worried about security the user could always look for the object and erase it, if so then I guess we would have to come up with another plan of attack
Hope this helps

Problem with animation loop in AS3

I'm having a problem doing an animation loop (a walk cycle in
this case) in CS3. I never had this problem in Studio 8 and am
wondering if I've gone crazy or if something has changed in CS3.
The animation cycle works fine so long as I have it loop
without using ActionScript, but when I try to loop it using
gotoAndPlay it skips the last frame (i.e., the frame that the code
is on). I tried adding an extra frame at the end and placing the
code on it... it works a bit better, but there's still a bit of odd
timing during the looping.
Interestingly, when I save the fla as a Studio 8 file, it
works fine (if I include that extra frame at the end). I may be
misremembering, but it seemed to me that Studio 8 didn't require
that extra frame before CS3.
Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have a solution to share
(I'm planning to use ActionScript3, so saving as Studio 8 won't
solve my problems)?

It shouldn't require that extra frame, but I wonder if
you've somehow
configured your FLA's publish settings for a version of
ActionScript you're
not actually using.

If your file works fine in Flash 8, then you must be using
ActionScript
2.0 (or lower) for the time being. Based on what you've
described, I can't
imagine what's going awry. Can you make that FLA available
online
somewhere? See if you can reproduce this issue with a
simplified version,
in case your company's policies (or whatever reason(s)) keep
you from
uploading the real file somewhere.
I'll take a look.

Apple Remote Desktop Requiring Serial Number Each Time....

Apple Remote Desktop Admin has suddenly started asking for the serial number every time it is launched. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling - same thing. Last time this happened it required a full reimage of my Mac to get it to work again. This is getting a bit ridiculous. I am running ARA 3.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.6. FYI my uninstall was by the book as per Apple's documentation:
rm -rf /var/db/RemoteManagement
rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
rm -r /Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop/
rm -r ~/Library/Application Support/Remote Desktop/
rm -rf /Applications/Remote\ Desktop.app

Link doesn't work and makes animation loop

i put this in actionscript
on(release)
getURL("htt://glennbeyer.freeiz.com/unreal.html");
It doesn't work and it makes the animation loop instead of stopping. Anyone know how to fix this?
Is there a way to upload the files to this forum so someone can look at it?

Select the button instance on the stage and in the properties panel where it says <Instance Name>, enter the name topLeftBtn, and be sure to do it in every keyframe for that button.
The error you are getting is not what I would suspect what I am saying to do will cure though. The error message makes me think you are using that button's name somewhere else incorrectly. YOu should go into your Publish Settings and in the Flash section select the option to Permit Debugging. Then your error message should include the line number where the error is occuring.

Count number of times a specific element occurs in ArrayList

I need to count the number of times a specific element occurs in an ArrayList. For example, if an ArrayList 'overflow' consists of the following elements:
1,3,4,1,1,8,14,7,3,7,8,0.
I need to count the number of times 4 occurs in the list.
ArrayList overflow = new ArrayList();
if(overflow.contains(4))
}I know that contains returns true if 4 exists in the ArrayList, but how do I count the number of times 4 occurs? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

There is the Collections.frequency method in j2se 1.5
Or you could loop through the values in the ArrayList and count the number of times it occurs.

Some times my animation is not load

Hi
I Created A new loop animtion recently, All objects in it are created with shapes and I did'nt use any png/Gif.
I'll glad to know your views about it.
http://www.amaspad.com/
My problem is some times the animation is not load when I refresh the browser, It's more happen in firefox.
What Can cause this problem?

Hey Hi,
In Firefox even i am getting the errors in the image below.
From the errors and going through the source,i guess somehow preloader is unable to locate edge animate library sometimes.
Does your animation work locally on Firefox?
