Ok, i am going to try reorganising and using the method you suggested. I will get back to you shortly with an update. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl! Thankyou! works like a charm now. you are indeed a life saver. the reason my code was so complicated in the beginning was due to not understanding how to nest multiple timelines. but i think i have the jist now. here is the modified code you inspired...if interested? //import the GreenSock classes import com.greensock.*;

Hello, I am new to greensock and my coding may be a bit of a mess however I have an urgent problem. I created an animation and want it to repeat infinitely, however, after the second loop the animation starts to become problematic. The animations start to fire randomly and don't play like they do the first time. If my explanation is unclear please tell me and i will clarify. I have spent 3 hours trying various different approaches to repeating the code and i cannot find a solution. here is the code. stop(); //import the GreenSock classes import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*;
