Hi --

The basic idea is that animation in Etoys is something for the children to learn how to program it (it's one of many uses of the powerful idea "increase by"). So it's not a "feature" or "productivity tool". If you look in the "collections" role of a holder, you will find a property "Holder's count" which keeps track of the number of elements that are in the particular holder. You can test this against the "Holder's cursor" position to see if you have gone through all the contents of the holder. The control of scripts is found under the role "scripting".

Cheers,

Alan

Hi,

I've been trying to discover how to run an animation only once, without success.

If you click on the animation script's yellow question mark, it moves to the next cursor position. If you click on the clock, the script loops endlessly. I've explored the script menu, but nothing I've found so far has enabled me to run the animation one cycle through all the frames, then stop. How does one do that?

Thanks,
