drawing a blank

[spectsteve7]

this is a silly question but i can't think right now how to do this. i have a movie and have one movie clip in it. how can i set the amount of loops it plays before stopping?

I've had this one, may be helpful to you:

stop();
displayTime = 45;//45 sec
countDown = function(){
displayTime--;
if (displayTime == 0){
clearInterval(timer);
_root.movieHolder_mc.stop();}}
timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000); //countDown 1sec


Or you may just: e.g. your mc length is 20 frames --> 7 times =140frames.
On the main timeline, right on frame 140 put a stop() to the mc. :)
