Quick question about looping movie clips

I'm a REAL Flash novice, and I'm trying to get a movie clip to loop 3 times, and then continue on.

Here's the code I've written (I'm sure it's painful to see)

stop();

if (!loopCount) {

  var loopCount:Number = 0;

}

loopCount++;

if (loopcount < 3) {

gotoAndPlay (1)

}

if (loopCount = 3) {

  gotoAndPlay(363);

}

Could someone help me out?

Thanks,

Brandon

actually, that should generate an error message.

use:

var loopCount:Number;


if (!loopCount) {

    loopCount = 1;

} else {

    loopCount++;

}

if (loopCount < 3) {
    gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
    gotoAndPlay(363);
}

use double equal (==) to test for equality:


stop();

if (!loopCount) {

  var loopCount:Number = 0;

}

loopCount++;

if (loopcount < 3) {

gotoAndPlay (1)

}

if (loopCount == 3) {

  gotoAndPlay(363);

}

Thanks for the input.

Now, the movie stops after the first iteration.

I tried removing the "stop();" at the beginning of my ActionScript, and now it's again looping once, then going on to my next frames.
