How to run code only on start up

[Blake37439105d49v]

How can i run code once when the animation loads? Everything works fine but i now want to add some code to the start to set up, like stop movieclip and hide objects stuff like that, but if i put it at the top of my script, it runs every time i get to that frame.

Thanks

Hi.

Create a custom boolean flag in the first frame of the main timeline. Like this:

if (!this.started)
{
    // your startup code goes here
    this.started = true;
}

I hope this helps.

assuming html5/canvas

if(!this.alreadyExecuted){

this.alreadyExecuted=true;

.

.

// code to execute once

}
