Timeline Trouble...

[Father Time]

How is it that you get a timeline to play more than once with out looping it?
I have set up the timeline to make a layer hide over a 2 second interval, but
after the timeline plays, I can't get it to run again. If I put the 'loop'
function on, it does loop, but it makes the layer appear then disappear, over
and over again.

Is it just that I need to set up behaviors to make it play again after its
played once?... like sending the playhead back to the beginning of the timeline
so that it can play again? Or is there a setting that I can just click?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Make the last frame reset the timeline to frame 1.

YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!:D

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank
you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

In one line you solved the problem! You made me realize that the first frame
of my timeline caused the layer to be shown. If I were to return the playhead
to the first frame, it would just continuously show the layer. So I made the
'Show Layer' behavior take place on the second frame, and made the first frame
have the 'Hide Layer' behavior.

Then, I took your advice to send the playhead back to the first frame and
viola! The submenu layer becomes visable when you rollover the button, the
layer stays open long enough for you to navigate to the links, and when you
mouse out, the layer hides with a 2 sec delay! Great effect, from a great
site, with THE BEST SUPPORT TEAM IN THE BUSINESS!

I really mean that too! I've posted messages that have been replied to within
hours! That's awesome when you look at the volume of messages you guys get
every day. Thanks for doing a great job... and please keep it up!

I'm having the exact same problem. How do I set if back to frame one?

This is my test page:
[url]http://urchinthemovie.com/index1.html[/url]
I'm placing the play timeline behaviors on the links in the nav bar on the
right side.

Also, is there a way to make this work so that the sliding motion willbegin
where it is instead of going back to the first frame?

Thanks!

Use the GotoFrame behavior?

Thanks.

I actually fixed it by putting a goto frame 2 behavior on my button and then
putting a play timeline on the 2 frame which allowed me to click on the button
more than once.

The go to frame works but without the sliding motion, it was my backup plan.

It still has to go back to the 2 frame instead of sliding foward and backwards
(which would be ideal), if anyone has any ideas for that, that'll be awesome!
This is a work in progress for me.

I'm really not sure what the problem is. Can you try once again, please?
