#Animations don't play until I restart prototype

Is there anything that might typically cause this? The animation plays perfectly when I hit restart, but the component is invisible when first playing the prototype until I hit restart.

Are you talking about a regular animation or an Interactive Component? A Gif or Video?

Asking this because there are several behaviors that hit different depending on what you’re mentioning.

  1. Regular animation (aka frame to frame using prototype tools) might be a bug.

  2. Interactive components might be built to run only once, therefore you might need it to be built a bit differently. Also, there’s a know bug that when you update components some time they seem broken if you already had a prototype window open.

  3. Gifs or Videos are média elements and need to be loaded. That might lead to a small delay before they show up.
