Hi,

Can anyone help me with this . . . I've got a symbol that i've set to fade in from a light color to a dark color, and I've got the "Play Once" setting selected, but the thing just keeps on fading in and fading out. I only want it to fae in once. Any ideas on what I'm missing here? Thanks.

Lets say the symbol has 10 frames. The symbol is sitting on the maintimeline, and you want to see it so that you can time some main timeline animation to when its done playing it's 10 frames.
You would select PlayOnce from the options and then draw the symbol out on the main timeline 10 frames.

OR
Place the symbol in a single frame in the timeline . . . then
Go to the end of the symbols timeline and put in a keyframe, and in that keyframe add this:
stop();

Both methods are valid, but you should choose the one you think bests suits your particular need.

;)
