How do I loop this in the background?

[tbchmpion]

I've started a new movie (and I'm new at Flash) where I've created a skyline with "twinkling" lights. I now want this skyline to continue "twinkling" (looping) while the intro is running, fading out shortly before the end of the intro.

How do I loop this background? Or is my only option to "write out" each layer to continue to the end?

Thanks for any help.

Make it a Movie Clip, that way i will run on it's own timeline & continuously loop

But what do you mean by "make it into a movie clip"? I'm sorry, but I'm still in the process of figuring out how all fit together in making flash movies.

Insert > New Symbol


Choose Movie Clip as the behavior

Thanks -- I recall seeing that option now, just haven't used it before. Would be nice if the index in the manuals would list it also. ;-)
