unless you have a stop action in the last frame it should loop..if you do have a stop action take it out..

but i'm not sure how to loop it anyone know?

Go to the end of your movieclip timeline, then make an action here. Choose goto and write the frame where it starts. Then it loops..

I don't know is it's the help you' where looking for.. Just trying to help out..

unless you have a stop action in the last frame of your movie it will loop automatically...

Virt is absolutely correct! You cannot stop it from looping unless you put a stop() action on the last frame of the MC. Leave off the stop() action and you have your loop by default!

ok so i dont have to go like LOOP and the frame i want it to loop to, just put the code loop?

 

[coldfused]

dude just test the movie and see what happens..if it don't loop take out the stop action in the last frame..if it does loop(which it will)then your set..

have you tried testing your movie yet at all to see what it does when you play it?

...Well you would if you wanted it to loop to another frame than frame 1, which it will do, if you follow virt's advice!

BTW, there's no loop command or action as such, in this case! If you don't put a stop action, the mc should loop on it's own.
But you could force it to loop by simply adding on your last frame:
gotoAndPlay(1);

... Or whatever frame you want it to loop to!

This is probably wayyyy off what you want, and the other guys have solved your problem, but something that may confuse you about just letting your movie clip loop on its own may be that you have blank frames after it....

If you do, these will play through before your mc starts again.... so delete them and it'll loop fine...

Anyway, this just confused me when I started...

see you,
