Thread: Can't get my file to loop

  1. #1

    Can't get my file to loop

    I've got six movie clips (slide1, slide2, etc)... each on a different layer... all on frame 1... at the end of each clip I have the action set:
    stop();
    _root.slide2.play();

    then slide3, etc... on the last clip I have it set for:

    stop();
    _root.slide1.play();

    Which I would assume would essentially loop back to the first slide and start over.

    Basically all I need it for this thing to loop. Suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Sorry You got a fundamental problem, you can either each movie clip to attach one by one. For that you got to use attachMovieClip() method. Anyway i don't think you are not doing that way. Given the current scenario, that you got all MCs in a single frame, and in different layers, you have to code like this:
    -------------
    In Actions Layer change your script to:
    -------------------------------
    this.onLoad = function() {
    _root.slide1.gotoAndPlay(2);
    }
    ---------------------------------------------
    IN SLIDE1 MC (First remove the _root.slide2.Play(); from fram no:1 coz, this is not logic)

    And in the last Frame:
    stop();
    _root.slide2.gotoAndPlay(2);
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Follow this for all MCs it should work.
