Loop arrows on path

[CienieSushi]

Hi. My first post here

First of all, sorry about my english.

I know its very noob question, but i spend half a day on google and i cant find solution (or i just dont understand it). I want to loop several, infinite arrows that goes on some path.

I've made classic motion with one arrow on path, and its my movieclip1.
I was trying to copy that movieclip but then, all arrows go to the end, without loop repeat.

Have no idea how to solve my problem.
Some files that might help in attach.
GIF alone and SWF and FLA in zip.

EDIT: I have made what i want BUT its complicated way. Is there some simply way?

You forgot to upload the zip, I think.

I just upoad new files after edit

Would you mind uploading in a lower version, CS4 or something ?

[[afz]snickelfitz]

Save your project in CS4 or CS5 format; many members do not upgrade to CS5.5

[[afz]snickelfitz]

You want to create a long bent path with arrows that infinitely scroll along it?
Will this path have a beginning and end, or will it ultimately form a closed loop?

Not sure I understand why you don't just build the whole thing in a single MovieClip.

file .FLA in cs4 version as attachment.
Also, my work mate just tell me that maybe we could determinate speed od moving arrows in sec. not as frames. (there wil be more "pipes" with arrows, with different length and we will like to have same speed of all arrows)

'Pipes" have begin and end.

Remove all the other arrows, and just have one full arrow motion in that movieclip, give that Movieclip an instance name of mc, then locate it in your Library, right-click it, press Properties, click Advanced to show more properties, tick/check Export for Actionscript, and in the identifier field, type, pipe, and press OK

Then use this code on your Frame (and cut down frames to only one):

pipeX = mc._x;
pipeY = mc._y;
i = 0;

function createPipe(){
    attachMovie("pipe", "pipe"+i, i, {_x:pipeX, _y:pipeY});
    i++;
}

setInterval(createPipe, 500);

and then use this code on the last frame of the movieclip:

stop();
unloadMovie(this);

Hope it works

I will try it. Thanks for advice

EDIT: It works perfectly Thanks very much again, if u come to Poland u have big beer from me Thanks to everyone who replay my posts also.

PS. u know some nice and easy ActionScript courses? I know HTML, CSS a little jQuerry but i have no idea about AC

Uh... next problem...

Everything works alomst perfectly, but new movieclips that are created by ActionScript from Prid are creating at the top of all layers. How can i determinate that they will be created at the same layer what first movieclip?
