    Play a Movieclip only once

    Hello,

    I've tried the different methods on a Movieclip object. I have 10 sprites
    and want to stop it there (this one is transparent). I also tried the
    event handler but this didn't work.

    First I defined:

    explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)
    explosionMovieClip:setPosition(-100, -100) -- Off screen.
    explosionMovieClip:stop()
    stage:addChild(explosionMovieClip)

    At a collission (onBeginContact) I do:

    explosionMovieClip:gotoAndPlay(1)

    The movie is starting over and over again.

    Thanks,

    Marc

      Hi, tries to stop it in the selected frame:

      movieclip:setStopAction(numberframe)

      Hi,

      Thanks, this didn't work:

      explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)
      explosionMovieClip:setPosition(-100, -100) -- Off screen.
      explosionMovieClip:stop()
      explosionMovieClip:setStopAction(10)
      stage:addChild(explosionMovieClip)

      and this didn't work too:

      explosionMovieClip:gotoAndPlay(1)
      explosionMovieClip:setStopAction(10)

      At every collision, I need to restart the 10 frames Movieclip.
      So it starts with a first sprite and it ends at frame 10 with
      a empty transparent sprite. I think that you could do it by
      checking the array but I thought that it could be simpler.

      Regards,

      Marc

      Try this:

      explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)
      explosionMovieClip:setPosition(-100, -100)
      explosionMovieClip:setStopAction(10 * frameMultiplier)
      stage:addChild(explosionMovieClip)

      That works great, thanks. Forgot that you have to
      think in videoframes.

      @Dikkesnoek what actually makes a loop is this line
      explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)

      which says when you reach frame 10 * frameMultiplier then go to frame 1

      just so you know :)
