Loop in a classic motion guide

I am a HS animation teacher. After 3 years of teaching myself animation I am still an a novice. A student and I have been trying to figure out how to make our symbols move in a loop motion using a tween. We are knowladgable about classic and motion tween. We have been trying to use a classic motion guide but the object skips the loop part and continues to follow the path. Does anyone know any solutions to this?

I have attached a video and image.

    Hi Kara,

     

    On the picture the motion guide looks like a brush stroke.

    It needs to be a line, i.e. should be drawn with the Line tool, the Pencil, or potentially the Pen tool.

     

    Here is a little example FLA I prepared for you:
