hmm.... is it at Frame Actions > Basic Actions > LoadMovie??!!

[divtag@work]

if u have a STOP action in ur FIRST (1) frame of ur movie,
(maby a button with a play funktion), then u have to ad
this action to the last frame:

gotoAndPlay (2);

if u DONT have a stop action in ur movie... it loops automaticly


div...

Put a gotoAndPlay in it no matter what!

The HTML loop function is erratic and unreliable

Hi Guys,

The gotoandplay seems to be restarting the whole movie...I only need to loop 4 layers..not everything.

How do i loop a layer???

PS: I am using MX

Try:

_level1.gotoAndPlay(1)

Hi Sualdam,

I have placed this code in the last frame of each layer, but it still replays the entire movie, not just the 4 layers...

Dont understand why??

Cheers for your help

Dang. You said layer, not level - forget the last post.

You will need to put the thing you want to loop inside a movie clip or load it into a level(then, that last post will apply), because you can't loop a single layer or two. It is all or nothing in the timeline.

It is neater that way, too (movie clips).

Best bet is to put it in a movie clip.

Select the frames you want to move, right click, and cut frames.

Create a new movie clip, point at the first frame, right click, and paste frames.

Put a gotoAndPlay at the end of this.

Go back to the main movie.

Now drag the clip from the library on to the stage.

Practice on a test movie before doing it to your original just until you know how
