Repeating an animation?

[violentg]

Hi all, i have made an animation of a stick man walking. this animation lasts about 20 frames, problem is wat if i want to have him walking and have a camera pan round him pretty slow so the whole thing lasts about 200 frames. how do i get him to keep on walking? is making the walking animation longer the only way to do it?

In such cases I will generally copy and paste keyframes in a leapfrog fashion in order to get the animation to repeat more than once. This may or may not be a good option for you depending on how complex the walk cycle is. It may be your only option, however, since I can't think of any other way to do it at the moment.

O_o i was afraid u were gonna say that. walk = 20 frames, need to be 200 frames so thats 10 times gotta duplicate it, 12 body parts.... this is gonna take for ever! there must be another way

if you are using flash i must say i have to agree withe our mate here.but why dont you use 3d max for that,creating a stick figure is not that hard(well that's incase you do use 3dmax).you craete tha animation and then you add a camera .
