Stopping Looping

Hi everybody. I'm extremely new to Fireworks and animation in general. I am
having a hard time with my animations continuously looping even if I mark the
no loop button in the Frames section. How do I get the image to go through
only one full cycle of it's animation properties and then stop?

Hi. Once you have created your gif, export it as an animated gif then test
it.

Export your animation as an 'Animated GIF'

Thank you all. I did just try to export it as an animated GIF. I did it, and
it's saved as animated GIF, but it's still continuing to loop. It's not that
big of a deal for this image in particular, but for future reference I'd like
to be able to stop them.

Can you post a link to an example?

Where do you see this looping? In FW or in a browser? The No looping
setting doesn't work when you play the animation back within FW, It only
applies to the browser.

Check the export preview window to make sure that looping isn't set
differently than in the frames panel.
