I'm running a small animation on a Storyline screen. It's not interactive, just a cartoon character wobbling on a chair. But it keeps looping when I don't want it to - in fact, I just want it to run through the animation once.
My colleague created the animation in Flash, and she turned off looping when she did so, so we're not sure why it keeps doing it.
Thanks – that’s a good way round the problem, as I have all thestatic images anyway. I think it might be good to include a looping control inStoryline, however, as it does seem to ‘ignore’ the original settings fromFlash. Particularly important as Storyline’s own animation options are basic –my original method was to do a sort of ‘stop-frame’ animation using multiplecopies of the same image fading in and out, and it was OK, but so much betterwhen my clever colleague created the little Flash file for me!

Hi Anne!
I recently saw a similar issue in another thread. Though the animation was a GIF, the information may help solve this issue for it. Take a look.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,
Christine

Hey Anne,
Not to question the person who build your Flash animation, but can you confirm there is a stop(); action on the last frame of the Flash timeline?
I've built a few animations and haven't run into any looping issues.
Hi Kevin
Thank you - I'll pass this on to my colleague, who isn't over-sensitive on these matters!
There is a work-around that I can try, but it would be nice to correct the problem at source if we can.

Your suggested fix worked! Thank you.
