Repeating a timeline

Question

Hi, I have a MC with a 20 frame animation. I want its time
line to repeat a couple of times but not forever. Besides copying
and pasting frames, is there a way to set the number of repeats?
and then just have it stop on the last frame? Isn't there a setting
somewhere?
Appreciate the help.

It can be tricky depending upon what the animation is that
you want to repeat.
Try this. In the first frame, you put:
quote:
count=0;
then in the last frame of the animation:
quote:
//takes the value of the count variable and adds 1 to it each
time
count += 1;
//as long as the count is less than or equal to 5 go back to
the 10th frame and play it
if (count<=5) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
} else {
//otherwise stop it
stop();
