Remove gotoAndPlay from MC

[ryrocks]

Hey,

Is it possible to remove a gotoAndPlay from a movieclip?

for example:

start an animation.
When the animation reaches frame 50, gotoAndPlay(1)
This will make frames 1-50 play on loop.

is it possible to run this loop twice and then let the movie carry on playing past frame 50?

Thanks in advance.

you could use an enter frame event to track the current frame like this:



stop();
var count:int;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _enterframeHandler);

function _enterframeHandler(event:Event):void {
nextFrame();
if(currentFrame >= 50){
count++
if(count > 2){
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _enterframeHandler);
stop();
}
}

}

A quick "down and dirty" way of doing this would be to add this to frame one:

var loopAmt:Number = 0;

And then on frame 50:


loopAmt++;
if(loopAmt <= 2)
{
gotoAndPlay(2);
}


A quick note: you'll have to start the gotoAndPlay at frame 2 or else the loopAmt would keep resetting to 0 everytime it played through. If it's that big of an issue just have frame 1 and 2 the exact same thing and put the rest of the code on frame 51.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I'll give the down and dirty option ago, it looks good!
