[RESOLVED] Looping Movie Clip

[tiffany2577]

Is it possible to create a movie clip that will loop continously regardless of the actionscript on the main scene?

Any movie clip will loop coninously unless you tell it specifically to stop.

Even if there is a stop action on the main stage? or like in a preload where the script sends the movie back & forth to check loading?

[Freyacat]

yep. even if you just have one frame in your main movie with a stop on it, all your movie clip symbols will play their timelines over and over. The only way a movie clip symbol will stop, is if you put a stop action inside that specific movie clip.

okay... thank-you very much.

i guess i was doing something wrong, i couldn't get it to work. i'll try again, maybe i had an extra script or something. thanks again.

no problem!

let me know how it turns out!

by the way, if you want to make absolutely sure it works, you could always put a gotoAndPlay (1) on the last frame of your movie clip symbol. it's not necessary, but it might help.

thank-you! it worked perfectly!

now i'm going to try it in my preload movie again.

thanks again!
