Question

Create a looped movie clip from frames on timeline

Hi

Im new to animate but have a question. I have rigged and animated a candle head and for some reason i cannot save as a symbol to loop. Surely there must be an easier and cleaner way than copying all the frames over and over on the timeline?

Any ideas 

Thanks

    Why wouldn't you use it as a graphic symbol instead of a movieclip. You could easily loop a graphic symbol.

    Here's the tutorial explaining the difference between a movie clip and a graphic symbol.

    hope this helps.

    speed of execution depends on your hardware (and uncorrupted animate files).

    i don't know what you're doing that you can't convert to a movieclip, but what's difficult about copying the frames and pasting into a new moveclip?
