looping certain frames of a graphic symbol

[Maruf_]

is it possible to loop no.2 frame to no.10 frame of a graphic symbol(without adding keyframe for each frame) where it contains 15 frames inside?

You can do that with movieclips. You could change your graphic element to be a acting as a movieclip (top of panel) or change the graphic property to be a movieclip in the library.

okay! Thank you!

BTWif your graphic is already on the stage,  if you change its property in the library you will also need to change your graphic to be a movieclip in the top panel because it is not done automatically in that case.

Hi mate, in animation we can do this kind of looping with a wrapper container as explained in this article:

Essentially you nest your Symbol A (which has 15 frames) inside another Graphic container B and there only show 2-10, i.e. 9 frames. On the outside, you loop B.

Hope this helps!
