Hi there, I’ve made a sequence of frames containing 1 image each. I’ve attached this script:

stop();

var myInterval:Number;

myInterval = setInterval (this,“nextFrame”,1000);

…to make the playhead move 1 frame after every second. Now I’d like it to loop, so go back to the first frame after reaching the last. But I can’d figure out which script to use: “gotoAndPlay” just makes the playhead go berserk. Any ideas? Also: is there a script with which you can target the looping mc and get it to stop after pressing a button, and continue at the next frame after pressing another? THANX!
