Hi, I made an animation and want to figure out how to call it. I dont want it to be looped or anything like that. Its bassicly just a logo sliding up on the screen. I want it to be called after a certain event happens but cant figure out how to do that.

Animation controls are lacking in Thunkable. But you can hide the animation component and then when you want to show it, make it visible.
