I know this is simple.  
But I’m stuck.

Attached is a test file.  
The red ball I want to play once and stop.  
But it just continues to loop.

Thanks,  
Shawn

HIT F1 and READ. And also, at the last frame of the animation, in the Actions window type “stop();” without quotations. Also in the publish settings u could find what you are looking for.
