Ok, probabbly the easiest question in the world, but it has to be asked, i've
looked everywhere. I used flash to make a .swf file, and now i want to put that
into dreamweaver. i do so, but when played back in preview or when published,
it doesnt loop, even when the loop box is checked in the properties. i have to
have missed something very obvious, but any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Did you put a stop(); somewhere?
If not, explain what you did in detail.
Of course it should loop. There's really nothing you could have missed.

Allright heres what i did. i started out with a .avi file, took it and put it
into the video converter to turn it into a .flv file. Normally i would have put
it into dreamweaver directly, however when i try to do so, it gives me an
error, saying that that change conflicts with a template or something and will
be disguarded. so it wont let me do that. Therefore, i took the .flv file and
put it into a flash document, it appears as one frame, then export it from
there as a .swf. Now Dreamweaver will allow me to import that file without any
errors, but it will not loop. when it ends it reverts back to its first frame.
i havent put in any stop commands or actually any commands at all, so i doubt
thats the problem. I'd just like it to loop indefinatley if at all possibble.
also, to troubleshoot i allready checked to see if it looped just in the
player, again when it was previewed in browser in dreamweaver, and again again
when it was actually published to the website.

thanks again

Open the flash file back up and put this actionscript on the page containing
the flv playback component:

========
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
vid.play(flv-file-name.flv);
}
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();
========

Make sure the FLVplayback component has the name of vid and that you replace
flv-file-name.flv with your flv file's actual name. The movie will end then
start over forever.
