Hi Scott - In my case I let my users decide how many times the GIF
cycles, so it more than likely will be more than once through, but not
infinitely as in -1. I like your second option, below, but how are you
getting the GIF's frame delay? Did I miss that Livecode property somewhere?

If you want the GIF to stop playing when it reaches the last frame, why
wouldn't you set the repeatCount to 1?
If your GIF can play multiple times through (repeatCount = -1), then I
believe the only way you can track its frames is to poll it, with a
frequency that slightly exceeds its frame delay. Try running a loop while
the GIF is playing, maybe something like:
# GIF WITH 10 MS FRAME DELAY
on mouseUp
set the repeatCount of img "myGif" to -1
trackPlayback
end mouseUp
on trackPlayback
if the currentFrame of img "myGif" > (the frameCount of img "myGif" - 1)
then
set the repeatCount of img "myGif" to 0
set the currentFrame of img "myGif" to the frameCount of img "myGif"
-- just to be sure
exit trackPlayback
end if
send "trackPlayback" to me in 8 millisecs
end trackPlayback

It would also be helpful if a message was sent each time a new frame is
displayed. We could trap for those messages, count them, and go from there.

I have a similar need.
Seems we can set the repeatCount, but I don¹t see a way to test for
³currentLoop²
Theoretically we need something like ‹ where I am making up an unknown prop
called ³currentLoop":
if (the currentFrame of img "myGif" = the frameCount of img ³myGif²) AND \
(the currentLoop of img ³myGif" = the repeatCount of img ³myGif")
then
answer ³Ok I am indeed done²
end if

Thanks Scott, but if you've set the RepeatCount to more than 1 and it's
looping through the frames, twice for example, isn't there a possibility
you'll get the CurrentFrame the same as the FrameCount too early?
