I'm exporting an animated .gif in Animate, and I see in the dialog that there are only "once" and "forever" as looping options. WTH? What happened to setting a custom loop (say, 3x which is TOTALLY STANDARD across the web).

Hi anyone else who might had come across the same problem.
When you open Animate CC you can choose between HTML5 and Actionscript. If you choose HTML5 and wants to export to GIF you'll only be able to loop once or forever.

However if you choose Actionscript and export to GIF you'll get some other settings such as Repeat times:

Don't know why you don't get the same settings for GIF. Adobe must have their reasons.

Hi there- I've read through this thread and it has been helpful. My issue is that I only want my GIF to play once. I can't figure out how to do this? It seems no matter what I change the settings to it continues to loop.
