I am trying to create a loop using the below:

"loop" is a frame label 1 frame after the below on the main timeline.

Can someone find what is keeping this from working?

Thank you!

var i = 0;

i++;

if (i < 2) {

this.play("loop");

} else if (i > 2) {

this.stop();

}

Thank you for the tips @ClayUUID. You got me on the right track. After making the adjustments you suggested, the loop works as expected.

/*defined i=0 in first frame

placed this.gotoAndPlay("restart"); on last frame

placed "restart" label on first frame */

if (i < 3) {

i++;

} else if (i == 3) {

this.stop();

}

ANSWER!

You initialize i to zero every time you enter the frame.

The variable i only exists in that frame.

The conditional logic doesn't account for i being equal to 2.

There's no such function as .play().

There's no need to use a frame label when you're just advancing to the next frame.

I use this in my banner ads to loop the creative 2x:

if(!this.alreadyExecuted){

this.alreadyExecuted=true;

this.loopNum=1;

} else {

this.loopNum++;

if(this.loopNum==2){

this.stop();

}

I don't know why people are still using that ungainly code when a perfectly functional two-liner has been posted here many times:

if (!this.looped) this.looped = 1;

if (this.looped++ > 2) this.stop();
