By setting a specific frame before you enable the timeline to start, you
ensure that the timeline always begins at the same point.
For more detailed information on using timelines, see Chapter 17.
The Play Timeline and Stop Timeline actions have only one element on their parameter dialog box: a dropdown
list box offering all timelines in the current page.
The Go To Timeline Frame action??™s parameter dialog box (see Figure 12-20), aside from enabling you to
pick a timeline and enter a specific go-to frame, also gives you the option to loop the timeline a set number
of times.
FIGURE 12-20
The Go To Timeline Frame parameter dialog box enables you to choose a go-to frame and designate the number of
loops for the timeline.
If you want the timeline to loop an infinite number of times, leave the Loop text box empty
and turn on the Loop option in the Timelines panel.
To use the Go To Timeline Frame action, follow these steps:
1. Select the object to trigger the action.
2. From the Behaviors panel, click the Add (+) button and choose Timeline ??? Go To Timeline
Frame.
3. In the Go To Timeline Frame parameter dialog box, choose the timeline for which you want to set
the start frame.
4. Enter the frame number in the Go To Frame text box.
5. If you want the timeline to loop a set number of times, enter a value in the Loop text box.
