loop 3 times, then Replay button

[Torbot]

Just went through David Stiller's excellent tutorial on how to
[url]http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-loop-three-times[/url], however the ad
spec I have requires it to loop 3 times, then display a "replay" button - can't
seemt to get the two to cooperate. using AS2, by the way.

You'll need to set the button up to clear the counter variable so that it
appears to the script that it's the first time the playhead has entered the
frame with David's useful little script.

my_btn.onRelease = function() {
loopCount:Number = 0;
this._parent.gotoAndPlay(1);
};

thanks for the reply! I actually figured out a different (although probably
less efficient) way to do it. I put David's script just before the replay
button and set it up like this:

stop();
gotoAndPlay(1);

if (!loopCount) {
var loopCount:Number = 0;
}
loopCount++;
if (loopCount >= 3) {
this.gotoAndPlay(359);
}

this was placed at frame 358, with the button placed at 359, so after it
looped 3 times it continued on to 359, showed the button and stopped the movie
there. again, not the most elegant but it did the job :grin;
