Layer Looping

[mrroberts]

Hi There,

Can anybody tell me how to Loop just one layler, basicly I have a few objects moving a round but I want them to just keep going and not stop when the page has fully opened. Im not sure if you can loop one layler but if not how do you keep things moving on the page ??

Cheers,

Aaron

Aaron,
You can't loop but one layer if you have several of them. If you use an actions layer, that's where (on the end keyframe) you should add your looping action... But all layers will loop.
If you just want one object (one layer) looping, you should make a looping movieclip for that object alone, and drag that mc on stage from the point you want it to start looping.

Thanks,
Is this method also used when creating animated buttons like after you have clicked on it ?

Most of the time yes! Using TELL TARGET with Flash 4 or 5, or WITH with Flash 5.
If you want to animate a button, on the rollover state... you would create a mc and then add it on it's own layer while editing that button. You would do the same to add sound to your button.
