I have a simple swf fileHow do I get the flashfile to loop?

on the adobe site i read:

loop - Possible values: true, false. Specifies whether the movie repeats indefinitely or stops when it reaches the last frame. The default value is true if this attribute is omitted.

The timeline in Flash will auto loop as long as you havn't added any action script to stop it from doing so. As soon as it reaches the end of a timeline, it goes back to the start. Keep in mind that every movie clip you create can also have it's own timeline which will also loop. Double check your timelines for actions that might be stopping it from looping. I hope this helps.

so, am I correct in conluding that I cannot use the variables section of the module to influence the looping of a flash file? That is, if it loops, I cannot stop it, and if it does not loop, I can't make it continue looping.

Correct, the variables are not for passing parameters in the SWF embed section. Variables are meant for you to pass information to your SWF file. So use variables for flags or switches you need to send to your SWF file such as "firstRunCalled=1" not for Parameter settings such as "loop" or "quality". We have plans for an updated version of digFlash that will include the ablility to include parameters.

Thanks,
