Question

Help answer this question below.

I am using Flash 8 to make a solar system.
planets need to move at different speeds, but i don't want to have to insert so many keyframes for the fast moving planets.
is there an actionscript that would let me repeat an orbit a given number of times?

    First draw your planet. Select it and press F8. Choose movie clip and click OK. Double click the planet. You are now in the movie clip time line. Make the planet do one orbit and SINGLE click anywhere off the planet. Open the script window and insert this code:

    var i;
    i++; // counts number of times movie clip has played
    if (i >= <number>) {
    stop(); // stops movie clip after <number> of repeats
    }
