How to run code only on start up

How can i run code once when the animation loads? Everything works fine but i now want to add some code to the start to set up, like stop movieclip and hide objects stuff like that, but if i put it at the top of my script, it runs every time i get to that frame.

 

Thanks

    Hi.

     

    Create a custom boolean flag in the first frame of the main timeline. Like this:

    if (!this.started)
{
    // your startup code goes here
    this.started = true;
}

     

    I hope this helps.

    assuming html5/canvas

     

    if(!this.alreadyExecuted){

    this.alreadyExecuted=true;

    .

    .

    // code to execute once

    }
