how to loop an animation

Actually i didn't make an animation in flash. i just used one, given in captivate library.

i noticed that this one is not loopable but many others are.....

but even when i use one animation with loop showing in options and i enable it, it does not loop.

i think this is because i have placed one click box to stop the slide in the end as i want my users to go to next slide only by clicking next button.

thnx

Hi there

In addition to what Joe offered up I'll add this.

If you are creating an animation in Flash to drop into a Captivate, make sure you animate by creating a Movie Clip. As I understand it, you may animate in Flash by manipulatng the main timeline or by creating a Movie Clip. If you animate on the Main Timeline, it won't loop in Captivate. But if you animate via a Movie Clip, it will.

I'm working on improving my Flash skills -- so, can't speak "with Authoritah!" (sorry, Cartman) -- but, a .swf's looping ability is, I do believe, controlled internally within the file itself.

Which animation are you using?  Some of the animations in the Gallery loop more (or, at all) than others.  Some of the animations' source .fla files are included in Captivate and, thus, can be edited in Flash (assuming you have access to that - or, are able to download for a 30-day trial).

As a possibility, did you try to expand the animation's duration on the Timeline?  Maybe, by having more time to play, it would loop a bit for you...?
