On the last frame of your movie put

gotoAndPlay(frame#);

flashes loop by default. therefore a better question would be how do you stop it =)

on the last frame put the action gotoAndPlay(1);
you can change the number 1 by whatever number
I didnt watch the example you gave, is this what you needed to know?

Yes but it loops to the pre-loader, and you want it to loop to the first frame of animation.

Another way is to have your movie in a movieclip, and then put a stop(); on the frame on the timeline.

I usually use different scenes for preloader/main movie, but no further than that.

Scenes can be a hassle with music and sound so i gave up with them i just use multiple movieclips now.

i use them normally preloader/intro or main menu/game levels

and i dont find them a hassle, if theyre in those three scenes then they havent been a bother yet.
