Hey everyone. I'm having trouble with something in imageready. A friend of mine wanted a signatuer with a background animation and animated text. Well the problem is the background animation is like 62 layers long, so its 62 frames long, where as the text animation is a blur, so its only about 8 frames long. Is there a way i can set two different animation processes? Where like the background animation loops on process one, then i can use another process to do the text animation? Because I can't seem to do it right. This is pretty much what it looks like.

Frame 1 (2.5): Background Animation, First Text Line
Frame 2 (0.1): Backgorund Animation, First Text Line blurred.
Frame 3 (2.5): Background Animation, Second Text Line
Frame 4 (0.1): Background Animation, Second Text Line blurred.
Frame 5 (2.5): Background Animation, Third Text Line
Frame 6 (0.1): Background Animation, Third Text Line blurred.
Frame 7 (0.1): Background Animation
Frame 8 (0.1): Background Animation
Frame 9 (0.1): Background Animation

ETC All the way to 62.

So what I'm saying is i want the Text animation to loop whilst the background animation plays out, and loops again.

Plus it looks really cheesy since the background animation times are different (they are a bunch of dots being displayed on a map) and having them be delayed for 2.5 sometimes makes everything lame

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
