Looping in a group of frames

Looping within frames lets you create animation that recycles or makes a movie appear to pause. Such looping is useful for allowing a network operation to complete before the movie proceeds. Looping a movie by jumping from the current frame back to the first frame in the sequence can create a recycling animation effect.

| To loop within one segment of the Score, use the statement `go loop` to return to the first marker to the left of the frame containing the `go loop` statement. If there is no previous marker, the playback head jumps to frame 1.
| To pause a movie in one frame but keep it playing so the movie can react to events, use the statement `go to the frame` to loop in the current frame.
| To resume playing a movie that is looping in one frame, use the statement `go to the frame + 1`.
