Battle animation help.

[tekmansam]

I recently discovered the wonder of battle animations as battlecharas.  The concept and design is simple enough but I do not understand how to keep the animation from running through all the frames repeatedly and blinking out between each frame.  Is there any way to lock it on a frame or run the animation once and stop on a frame or otherwise stop this from happening?

I retract my question on the grounds that I am an idiot.
