Playhead Stops in Random Places During Animation. Please Help.

Question

I am animating a project on Adobe Animate 2018. When I press play on the timeline, the animation plays for about 3 frames and stops, even though it shows that it is still playing. If I then click pause and play repeatedly, the playhead jumps forward and continues on for 2 or 3 more frames and stops again, and I would have to press pause and play repeatedly etc. The playhead seems to stop at and jump to relatively the same spots each time I play the animation.

Does anyone know how I could fix this? Thanks, Lauren

Hi Lauren,The only way you can improve this probably, is to identify what is causing it.Could be any of your elements on the timeline. I assume it's just animation and you have no scripts.I have always found the in-program playback unreliable and rarely use it, if at all.I work on huge timelines, often 5-6 000 frames long and always use the Ctrl+Enter to preview as SWF.To loop a section I use simple frame script and a label on my timeline which I move to define the area as I progress through the animation.Here is an empty file with the script and labels, and some notes how to use them, if you decide to give it a go.loop_section_AS3.fla - Google Drive Hope this helpsNT
