flash crash

[AlanPS]

I have 2 different versions of the same file- all are 500 frames. 2 of them will loop automatically- the one that is bigger in file size and more complicated, though still 500 frames, stops at the end. And you can't get it to start over like a normal SWF.

Anybody know how to fix that?

that didnt make much sense... but maybe just add a script to the last frame:

gotoAndPlay(1);

Sorry for not clarifying... these are ASP files that I exported as SWFs, so I can't really add a frame to the end of them in ASP... right? I do have Flash but I don't have any way to convert SWFs back to Flash files.
Have you tried any of the SWF to Flash converters?

You do know that in File | Project Settings there is an "Extra SWF Frame" box? Ticking that sometimes solves these kind of problems. With regard to SWF to FLA decompilers, I have Flash Decompiler, and that works pretty well.

thank you so much- I have never noticed that. Man- you get no real manual with this deal so it's like being told "You didn't notice the red button that says `press in case of emergency'?"
It works!

you probably know this... but you can import frame by frame swf onto the flash timeline... although in most cases this isn't much use, but with AS thats just what you want it to do right? (ive never tried using decompiler with AS file, doesnt it just create single frames anyway??)
