gotoAndPlay vs gotoAndStop

[peltonsweet]

I need help clearing something up:

gotoAndPlay jumps to a specified frame and then plays from there to the end of the timeline. gotoAndStop plays to a specified frame and then stops. Are there any options for jumping to a specified frame, playing that frame only, and then stopping?

I'm going crazy trying to play one frame only.

Acutally, gotoAndPlay() plays from a set frame until the next forced stop (either the end of the timeline or a stop() action). gotoAndStop() goes to a set frame and doesn't progress from there until the timeline is trigerred again, which I think is what you're after here. There is no built in method to play from one frame to another then stop.

Thanks Jesse, sorry about the crossposting.

Does gotoAndStop actually play the specified frame? If it goes to the frame, plays it, then stops, then that is exactly what I need.

Thanks again,
Laura
