Hi all,

I have an animation of a dog running across the stage and a movieclip called "legs" which is the legs moving. I want to loop the dogs legs for a certain amount of frames and then make it stop on a certain frame within that same nested "legs" movie clip.

Can anyone tell me how to do this and where the actionscript should go??

Many thanks!

Correct answer Ned Murphy

In that frame you can place a conditional that tests how many times the animation has gone thru it and then have it stop at a particular number of times. In the example code below, it stops on the 5th time thru.

var counter;

if(counter == null){
    counter = 1;
} else {
    counter += 1;
    if(counter == 5){
        stop();
    }
}
