Question

Loop banner 3 times and stop short of the end frame

I'm making animated banners that loop 3 times from start to finish, the banner's contents alpha out on the ending frame, but on the third loop I would like the elements to stay visible and make the banner stop moving. How may I use Actionscript to accomplish this?

How do you control the alpha, via a timeline tween or a coded tween?

In any case you will need to start with having a loop counter so that you can tell when you have reached the desired end point 3 times.  for that you could have something like the following in frame 1...

var count:Number;

if(isNaN(count)){
    count = 0;
}

that will set the initial value of the count variable to zero but also keep the variable from resetting to 0 every time you return to that frame.  Then in the frame where you desired to stop...

count += 1;

if(count == 3){
    stop();
}

I control the alpha via a timeline tween.

Then either stop the third loop at the start of the tween before it fades, or if you want it to fade before stopping and then re-appear, place it at the end of the timeline and include a command to set the alpha back to 1 in the conditional.
