Looping Animations?

programming flash
1

Hello all!

I’m currently working on my full flash site and I can’t figure out on how to loop an animation. I have a circle ontop of my menu with blades around it, and I want the blades to rotate around the circle but I can’t figure out how to loop it all. Anyhelp would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming you used motion or shape tweens, a simple


gotoAndPlay(1);

at the last frame of your movieclip will tell flash at the end of this animation go back and play it again.

Hmm, maybe I’m not doing it right… it still ends on the keyframe and when I try to put it off the keyframe, the script just locates the last keyframe before it…

create a new layer and hit f6 to create a blank keyframe at the end of your animation.

if you’d like post your fla it would probably be easier.

Anyway I could email it to you?

Alright, I send the email… hope it helps.

ahh, you would have to make that object its own movieclip so it wont interfere with your main timeline.

create a movieclip and put your animation in there, then at the last frame of your movieclip put the gotoAndPlay(1); actions.

Hmm… its still not working… oh well, I just won’t loop it, simple solution :).
Thanks for the help anyway, It will probably come in handy when I get better with Flash :).
