RE: FLASH: looping a certain number of times?

[Waldo Smeets]

Yes, it's very simple.


I wrote this using FAST! So you can use it in your flash movie. Read the

comments to know what I've done.

Here it is:


	Comment: ---------

	Comment: Put this in the first frame of your movie

	Comment: You can delete the comment rows if you want to. They're only to

explain.

	Comment:

	Comment: showXtimes defines how much time your movie has got to be looped

	Set Variable: showXtimes = 10

	Comment:

	Comment: Loops tells you how much times the movie has been looped by you.

	Comment: When the movie begins, it hasn't been looped yet; set "loops" to

zero.

	Set Variable: loops = 0

	Comment:

	Comment: Till here

	Comment: ---------



Label the beginning of the loop "beginLoopHere"

(that may not be the same frame as the frame mentioned above).

Label the frame where you want to go to after the loop has finished

"goHereAfterLoop"



	Comment: ---------

	Comment: Put this in the last frame of your loop

	Comment:

	If (loops < showXtimes)

	 Comment: Loops tells you how much times the movie has been looped by you.

	 Comment: You want it to be looped once more if that loop value (loops) is

less

	 Comment: than the the value you defined in showXtimes. So here we're going

to

	 Comment: tell flash what to do then.

	 Comment:

	 Comment: If your movie arrives here it has been played one more time,

	 Comment: so first update "loops" with one.

	 Set Variable:  loops = loops + 1

	 Comment:

	 Comment:Now you want it to be played again, cause "loops" was "<

showXtimes"

	 Go to and Play ("beginLoopHere")

	 Comment:

	Else

	 Comment: If loops is not smaller than showXtimes, the movie has been shown

as

	 Comment: often as you wanted to. So tell flash where to go now.

	 Go to and Stop ("goHereAfterLoop")

	 Comment:

	 Comment: If you want to you can change the action "Go to and Stop" into

"Go to and Play"

	 Comment: or into "Stop" or whatever you like.

	End If

	Comment:

	Comment: Well, that's all!

	Comment: Till here

	Comment: ---------



Be sure that the lines aren't "wrapped" by your browser. A new line always

begines with Comment, If, Else, End, Set or Go in this code.

Onderwerp: FLASH: looping a certain number of times?



Hi,

Question: Will someone tell me if it's possible to have a number of frames

loop for X amount of times and then stop?


For example, I have 8 frames in this loop. On the main timeline, this  loop

starts at frame 35, and I want it to continue looping until frame 127. Then

I want it to stop (and go away).


Is this possible to do with frame Actions?


Thanks,

Carla
