Hello fellas,

Thanks to the Fading text flash tutorial here on [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com). However, how do i stop the loop from fading in and out? In other words, I just want the text to fade in and stop so i can see the text. Can anyone help me please?

Thank you  
Richard04

Put a stop(); action on the last frame.

On the timeline that your animation is on, make a new layer and place it at the top. Select the last frame of the animation on your new layer and push F7 then push F9 to open the actions panel and put stop();
