Help! How can I exit loop after looping certain times?

[michaelm12097229]

Hi guys,

I'm sorry if this question was asked before but I really couldn't find an answer to this:

How can I loop a banner from frame 1 to frame 255 three times and when it's playing the 4th time it should play until frame 256 which is the final frame.

Thanks a lot,

Michael

Hi.

Use this code:

Frame 1 (0):

if (this.resume >= 0)
    this.resume++;
else
    this.resume = 0;

Frame 255 (254):

if (this.resume < 3)
    this.gotoAndPlay(0);
else
    this.gotoAndStop(255);

Regards,

JC

super helpful thx!!!

or just on 254

if (!this.looped) this.looped = 1;   

if (this.looped++ == 3) this.gotoAndStop(255);

That wouldn't send the timeline back to frame one. The fixed version would be:

if (!this.looped) this.looped = 1; 

if (this.looped++ < 3) this.gotoAndPlay(1);

On the second-to-last frame, whatever it happens to be.

Yes, my mistake

I was curious whether this could be done as a one-liner. Turns out it can:

(this.looped = !this.looped ? 1 : ++this.looped) < 3 ? this.gotoAndPlay(1) : 0;

Or this abomination:

this[["play", "gotoAndPlay"][+((this.looped = !this.looped ? 1 : ++this.looped) < 3)]](1);

Seriously, nobody use that.

Whoa! Excellent!

Gotta bookmark this. Haha
