Hi , welcome to SWISH forum. A quick way to make it loop is put a GOTO FRAME 0 in the last frame of your scene line.

You may well have a STOP there right now that is preventing the looping

So if it is a sprite what command do you have to tell the sprite to play.
In your scene line you may be able to place a tell target that tells your sprite to goto frame 0 once its finished.

You may have to post your swi so that the help can be more specific.

thanx jofta.

so i did not need to use the overall group, was that problem. u did not add any action cammands.

[jofta]

Check out the TELL TARGET COMMANDS first sprite tells sewcond sprite tells third sprite which tells first spite again. Also note that all the empty frames have been deleted from in front of your text effects.

i am fixing my file now,

i toke out the overall group, and i named each text and used tell target from first to second etc.......still not looping do i have to delete the empty frame why and how.

thank you

Simply have your 4 sprites
3 for text, one for the green frame
Name your three text sprites, one, two, and three. (or whatever you like to name them)

In your first sprite begin your text effects at frame 0.
Put the tell Target"/two goto frame 2" at the frame after your fade out.

Sprite two. Put a STOP at frame two. Put your fade in and explode effect from frame three. At the end of that place a TellTarget"/three goto frame 2" straight after the explode effect.

Sprite 3, the same as two but have your "tell target "/one goto frame 0" straight after your effects.

The Tell Target commands go in the Sprites scene line as per the example.
