Hi everyone..

i imported pngseq files on animate.

I have specified frames that start and end loop in some frames.

==========================================

loop start frame

-> if(!this.loopsPlayed){

this.loopsPlayed = 0;

loop end frame

-> this.loopsplayed ++;

if(this.loopsplayed == 5){

this.loopsplayed = 0;

return;

} else {

this.gotoandplay(8);

}

==========================================

My question is,
I want to write a script that exits the loop after playing only for a specified amount of time(3min, 9min, 10min...), not counting up.

plz help me.

depending on the precision needed and whether this is as3 or html5, you can use setTimeout, ticker, getTimer and a few other less direct methods.

Thank you for your answer.
I'm going to use AS3, and could you tell me the example codes of the three (setTimeout, ticker, and getTimer) that you told me?

i could give all three, but why?

// start movieclip mc playing, and stop it after t seconds.
function playForF(mc: MovieClip, t: int): void {
mc.play();
mc.stopTime = t+getTimer()/1000;
trace(getTimer()/1000)
mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,timerF);

}

function timerF(e: Event): void {
if(getTimer()/1000>=e.currentTarget.stopTime){
e.currentTarget.stop();
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,timerF);
}
}
