How to export swf file without looping (play one cycle)?

Hello,

I noticed that the exported flash file is looping by default. However I cannot see the option "without looping" when export to flash file. How can I export flash file without looping effect?

Thanks and best regards

Alex

AFAIK there is only the loop option.

You could export it as an animated gif. A gif is universally read and you can control your loop cycles as well as the timing of each frame.

Merry Christmas too everyone!

AFAIK AS doesn't have an animated GIF export, only sequential image export in the pro version.

For control of looping within the file you need to import the swf file into Flash and put a stop(); command in the final frame of the timeline. In a browser, you can control playback with the EMBED commands.

This is correct. SWFs automatically loop unless specifically told not to by a bit of code either inside the SWF or in an HTML page the SWF is embedded into. Anime Studio would need to have the option to insert the stop(); command in the last frame of the SWF, and it doesn't have that.
