play done

Syntax

play done

Description

Command; ends the sequence started with the most recent play command. The play done command returns the playback head to the frame immediately after the frame where the calling sequence initiated the play command. If play is issued from a frame script, the playback head returns to the next frame; if play is issued from a sprite script, the playback head returns to the same frame.

Each play command needs a matching play done command to avoid using up memory if the original calling script isn't returned to. To avoid this memory consumption, you can use a global variable to record where the movie should return to.

The play done command has no effect in a movie that is playing in a window.

Example

This handler returns the playback head to the frame of the movie that was playing before the current movie started:

on exitFrame
	play done
end
