How do I get MovieFX to continusly loop? Say I have a logo that is a movie clip that I want to glow off and on when the mouse hovers over the object?
Thank you

Hello,<br>
<br>
There is no function in the component inspector that can make the movie effect loop, but there is a simple way to obtain a loop. You have to go to the main timeline an insert a keyframe in the frame in which the effect ends (you can set the duration of the effect from the component inspector). For example, if the effect has a duration of 90 frames, go to frame 90 on the timeline and insert a keyframe there. This should make the effect loop.<br>
<br>
You can achieve the result you mentioned also by using Action Script. More about this can be found in the product documentation:<br>

Does the above apply to MoviefX2? What about having the whole flash file loop once all the animations have completed.< /p>
Is there tutorials for the above (Timeline) documentation for MovieFX2 and TextFX2?

I have got the same question, can we loop a flash file created with several movie fx instances. so that it wont stop after playing once.

Hello,
Yes, you can do that by using the timeline. A Flash movie will loop through its frames if you don't use a stop action. You need to use the timeline to order the Movie FX components and then just let it to loop by not placing any stop action. Also, you need to leave enough space on the timeline so that the effect has time to finish.
For example, suppose you want to have two effects on two different pictures, one starting with 2 seconds before the second. And you want to loop the entire movie. Something like eff1_in, eff2_in, eff1_out, eff2_out, eff1_in, and so on.
To set this up first you need to create two layers on the timeline. Then place the first MovieFX on frame 1. The second MovieFX should be placed at frame 60 (if you use 30 fps) on the second layer. Expand the first and second by inserting a frame at 60+delay+duration_of_secondMovieFX. And that should do it. When you test the movie it should loop through both effects.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

hi there,
thanks for this it really worked, i wanted to create an effect like image show and i added the last key frame on all the layers without adding the delay time.this way one image was having an out effect and the next was synchronised beautifully with its in effect..
thanks for this great time saving product
