[SIZE=2]Hello guys,

How can I make this 3d animation stop after 4 seconds?

Here is the code and I’m attaching the .fla so you can see what I’m talking about.

```
 ActionScript Code:
 [FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] sensitivity:[COLOR=#0000ff]Number[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]2[/COLOR];

```
