how to loop a flash piece 3 times and stop after 3 times?

[joecannes]

HI,

I am in need of some help.

I have a flash piece that I want to loop 3 times and then stop.

HOw do i do that?

[kBisk]

put this in the first frame of the loop:


_root.loops_played = 0;
if (_root.loops_played >= 3){
stop(); //*
} else {
play();
}
and then this in the last frame of the loop:


_root.loops_played += 1;
which adds one to the loops_played variable, initially defined as zero. When the variable = 3, the loop will stop on the first frame. If you need it to do some else after the three loops, just add a different code to the line //*.
