I got the following code stock and wanted to make it stop after a specified number of repetitions. The code is for a masking effect for a series a pictures. could someone take a look at it and tell me how to get it to stop after it has displayed all the pictures a specified number of times? Also, it would be nice to be able to specify a pause between each transition, right now i just have it continue the transition beyond the viewable area. I have some applescript and c++ experience, but not really any actionscript. Thanks!
