Easy Question......I hope
Ok, I'll try to ask this the best I can without confusing anyone.
Take a look at http://www.11interactive.com/eng/ei.html. When the page loads it looks like there is a blue mask broken up into several pieces that comes in over the main flash picture or movie, but it looks like they have that main picture or movie looping. Lights going down the rails etc. How is this possible? If it were looping, the blue boxes would come in over and over, but they don't.
I am asking because I want to have an outline on my main flash movie that travels across the rails of a picture similar to what they have.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but anyway: if you mean, how can you create a movie that has a certain animation when it starts, and then loops, but the starting animation does not show again:
Say the starting animation is in Frames 1 - 20. Simply put a frame action in the last frame of the movie that says: gotoAndPlay("21"). The movie will still loop, but will loop from the last frame back to frame 21, instead of to frame 1, as it would be default.
Is this what you meant?

not sure about this but couldn't you just have them all as seperate movie clip symbols placed on the main time line? So referring the the example, the blue stuff would be in a movie clip on the top layer amd once it has played then the main picture is visable so that symbol would have a stop action on its own timeline, then the other main animations is a separate movie clip symbol / symbols which dont have a stop action on them so they loop. On the main timeline these would be placed on a layer under the blue stuff layer so they arnt visable til that animation has finished.
Ok i am not sure and that was a bit babbled but thought i'd give you my idea.

Thanks so much guys. I will try it and let you know how it turns out.
For some reason, I didn't think about being able to loop the movie but having a gotoandplay that pointed to a frame other than 1.
Great advice, Thanks
