Help! No matter what I do I can't get the animation to stop looping. I've checked the code and cleared the cache numerous times. Even loops on the preview.
Only happens when using firefox, works fine with IE.

Check the html code to make sure loop = true is not presemt.

I believe I said in the post title that it equaled "false"

I believe you did but depending what code you use in the html to display the flash, it may be in two places - one for ie and one for mozilla. So

Hey there

Earlier I posted in this comment that I was having the same problem, but I've found a workaround that has settled the problem for me, but I'm not sure it will do for anyone else, as it has to fit the intended purpose of the movie.

Here is the gyst of my earlier post:"I have disabled looping in the Firestarter swf file, the html code (in both the OBJECT and the EMBED tags) AND in the Flash movie I'm using to load the Firestarter swf as an external file. I've even disabled looping using ActionScript in the Flash movie that's loading the Firestarter swf. It still loops."

But here's the thing. If you place a link and add a hotspot to the topmost layer, the movie will reach that last bit and stop looping because it's waiting for user input. This has worked for me, because my swf's purpose is to be a Flash web page.

It could be useful for those of us who are using our swf's for presentation-only purposes, as in a movie that should play once and stop. Maybe you can place a text link on the top layer saying "Play again" and that way, there is at least a seamless cover-up for the looping.

Visitors are accustomed to seeing controls that allow them to stop the movie, kill the sound, and replay a movie as they choose, so this might not be too ungraceful as a workaround.

The key is, the movie will not move forward as long as it's waiting for input.

Hope this helps.

Notice the loop in both embed and object

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

I got a question. How do you get a movie to loop? I have the opposite problem. In HTML everything is set to True.

If in the creation of the movie, please let me know hoe to loop these three images and have the blank in the rext have any image as a background..

LOL. Hello AlamoWebDesign.

If your Flash movie is not set to loop, it's not going to loop no matter what you put in the object or embed tag.
