Don, Okay, if I understand you correctly, you could insert a keyframe at the end of each animation which will allow you to place some code: stop(); setTimeout(goOn,1000);// that's a one second delay This will call the goOn function which in turn will direct the playhead to each animation in the desired (randomized) order. If you use the if/else block (from the code in my previous post) to manage the index then the animations will repeat, continuously.
