okay here's what I'm trying to do (picture is only example) I'm trying to do two motions at once but one motion is not even half as long as the first one so I want it to loop itself while the second one finishes without going back to the first frame and everything continues... pls help with the loop action...

the real thing is planets orbiting and all planets orbit at different timing so I want them all to orbit at the same time but doesn't loop at the same time.

Use movie clips for each individual animation. It'll solve this problem easily, and make your work more organized.

What's the code in frame 12 of layer 1? Is it a gotoAndPlay(1) typof of thing? Yep, that's going to screw up layer 2's animation, right?

So I *think* what the two previous respondents meant to say was: make each planet a modular, self-contained movie clip that has their own timeline animation looping for the length of their orbital period. Then bring each planet movie clip into the main timeline on the frist frame of each layer and let 'em rip. They have their own independant instructions, so you don't need to loop the main timeline - each planet has it's own loop. Make any sense at all?
