You can use a repeating send message to test the currentFrame of the
animation. Something like this (untested):
on myHandler
set the uAllowRun of me to false
# (your scripts here)
# PLAY THE GIF
set the repeatCount of image myGIF to 1
testFrame
wait until the uAllowRun of me is true
# (more scripts here)
end myHandler
on testFrame
if the currentFrame of image myGIF = the frameCount of image myGIF then
set the uAllowRun of me to true
exit testFrame
end if
send "testFrame" to me in 20 milliseconds
end testFrame
Note: If your animation takes a long time to play, you will basically lock
up your machine until the animation is done, due to the "wait" command. If
possible, it might be better to break up your scripts and trigger the
portions following the animation via a sent message.
