When is a GIF Finished Playing?

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

These methods work, of course, but surprisely “horsey” for something that should be easy.

Assuming that the engineers are not following this thread, or at least not jumping in with solutions.

I added this enhancement request.

If there *is* a simple way, under the engine hood, to get the currentRepeatLoop, I guess the mothership crew will tell us.

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?
