Hello, I am having trouble figuring out how to make several frames into one symbol, and then making that symbol loop continuously in an animation. Sorry if I am not explaining it in-depth enough. If I could get some assistance, or any directive, on how to go through with doing this, I would very much so appreciate it. Just in case it helps, I am using Flash CS5 ^_^

Copy all the frames from the loop, hit ctrl + shift + Fn8 and then paste the frames there.
How to copy more than 1 frame at the time?
Go to your layers, click one frame to select it, click and drag to select more than 1. right click>copy frames.
What does ctrl + shift + Fn8 do?
Creates a new symbol, might be a graphic, movieclip or button. In your case, you need either a graphic or a movieclip.
Paste the frames?
go to your layers and right click where you see a single blank frame > paste frames.

If you're exporting it as a .gif the loop wont show. You cant make an animated .gif using movieclips, not in flash at least.

Thank you, Hidro, I found out what I was doing wrong and you helped me solve it.
