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
