# Controlling animations with flowcharts

Use the Call action part in a flowchart to control how animations are played. This requires the Call action flowchart part to be available in the software.

1. Choose the Animation part you wish to control using the Part chooser on the Call action part.
2. Select the animation title from the list on the Call action part.
3. When the flowchart runs, the animation will be played when the control reaches this part. The flowchart will wait for it to finish playing before moving on. If the animation is set to loop, the flowchart will wait for the animation to play through
   once before moving on.
