I have a bit of code I’ve been using successfully with AS2 but don’t know AS3 to make it work. I’ve GOT to get it in AS3.

All I need it to do is play to a certain point no more than 3 times…hopefully that will be obvious by the code. (see below)

if (!loopCount) {  
var loopCount:Number = 0;  
}  
loopCount++;  
if (loopCount \< 4) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(265);  
}  
loopCount++;  
if (loopCount \< 2) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(264);  
}

…so it plays to frame “264” twice and on the third round it goes to “265” where I have it stop()'ing.

Thanks!
