repeatCount

Type

property

Summary

Specifies the number of times an animated GIF image repeats.

Syntax

set the repeatCount of <image> to <numberOfCycles>

Description

Use the repeatCount property to specify how many times an animated GIF image should repeat when it's displayed, or to stop it from repeating.

If the repeatCount is positive, the image repeats the specified number of times. If the repeatCount is negative, the image continues repeating indefinitely while it is being displayed.

If the repeatCount is zero, the image does not repeat at all. If you set the repeatCount of an animated GIF image to zero while it is playing, it stops repeating immediately.

If the contents of the image is not an animated GIF, the setting of the repeatCount property has no effect.

Examples

set the repeatCount of image 1 to 0 -- stop looping
