animationRepeatCount Problem

Hi, first post here. I have wanted to try coding an app for awhile so I've read through a great cocoalabs code tutorial and have started Programming in Object-C 2.0. While reading those I have been doing some tutorials online to try out some ideas.

So I've been trying to make an app where when you click a button it starts up a new view inside the same xib file that is playing a sprite animation. I wanted the animation to start right away when I got to the new view so I put it in the viewdidload section.

My problem is that the code just continues to play on an endless loop. I have put in the animationRepeatCount to specify that I only want to it to play once but when I do that it makes nothing appear when I click for my animation.
I've tried to google but can't find anything. I've put my code down below I hope that this is enough information.

Thanks you

Code:

#import "SecondView.h"

@implementation SecondView
@synthesize dragon;

- (void)viewDidLoad {
	[super viewDidLoad];
	
	NSArray * anim1 = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:@"img2.jpg"],
					   [UIImage imageNamed:@"img3.jpg"],
					   [UIImage imageNamed:@"img1.jpg"],
					   nil];
	
	dragon.animationImages = anim1;
	dragon.animationDuration = 2.0;
	dragon.animationRepeatCount=1.0;
	[dragon startAnimating];
	}

 

Oh yah. Thanks have added
