Question

Test only a portion of Timeline with .SWF test

Hi,

 

I'm doing frame by frame animation.

 

I'm wondering if there is a way to only test a small part of timeline when testing my animation via Control > Test optioin?

 

All I can figure out is how to run a test on the whole timeline or a Scene. I'd like to just test a second or two of animation to make sure it looks smooth.

    Hi mate,

     

    I use a simple label and go to script, moving them to define the section I want to loop.

     

    Here is a FLA with that:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eQ-1QNtyt0E8PsXe0qalPXqtzKmPaDmu/view?usp=sharing

    You can just copy the script layer to your file. The counter might come in handy too.

     

    If you want to preview from the beginning you need to make the second label a comment, while making the first comment a label.
