Thread: stoping frame after 3 slides

this code below this line is looping though 3 pictures. so it will display pic 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3,... and so on. but i want it do stop when it picture is 3.

float frame = 0;                
	double frame_speed = 0.1;   //how fast to loop through pictures
	int pictures = 0;                  //how many pictures to loop from
 
public void animation_player()
		{	
			int tester = (int)(frame + frame_speed);   
			if(tester < pictures) 
			{
				frame += frame_speed;
			}
			else
			{
				frame = 0;
			}
		}

public void paint(Graphics g)
		{
			Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
 
							pictures = 3; //6 picture on sheet
							g2d.drawImage(player_image, x, y, x+width, y+height, 
									50*(int)frame, 147, 50*(int)frame+50, 189 ,Sprite_Sheet.m1);
}

iam thinging in if statment may be add another else if(tester == 3)...

I don't see a loop any where.

1st block of code is in a main game loop.

sure,

main.java

public void run()
{
while(player_class.isDEAD() == false) //if player is not dead keep going
{
player_class.PLAYER_MOVE(this, ground_class); //player moves
}
}
