# Playing animations

Animations can be played:

1. By clicking: Click on the Animation part to play an animation; click again to play the next animation, if there is one, or play the animation again (Note that the part settings can also be changed so that clicking does nothing.)
2. Through the Part menu: Use the Animation part's menu to select an animation. The part's Play menu list the names of all available animations.
3. Using the Call action part: This requires the Call action flowchart part to be available in the software.

Depending on the settings in the Properties pane of the Animation part, each animation will stop playing when it is finished or will continue to play in a loop.
