Playing specific frames only?

programming flash

Hey all,

I’m trying to loop only five or so frames from an entire movie clip, and I’m not quite sure how to do this.

Basically I have a man walk in and sit down as an intro scene (frames 1-6), and then from there playing just looping the ‘sitting’ animations (frames 7-11) until the user does something with the interface. can someone point me to a tutorial or help me out?

Thanks.

On frame 11 put:

gotoAndPlay(7);

ive tried that, but its still playing the entire instance of the movie clip in the library, which has the whole animation of him walking in and sitting, but this time the instance on the stage is just in one spot.

im wondering if i could actionscript it so the instance on the stage only plays the specific frames where he’s sitting down?

the other thing i could probably do is just break up the entire animation into seperate movie clips?

Are you looking for frame labels with stop instances maybe? :slight_smile:
