I want .swf in InDesign to loop

Question

I created a slideshow in InDesign by placing each element on a different layer and then setting the timing and effects.
There is no "Loop" setting when exporting a .swf from InDesign like there is in Illustrator.
When the slideshow .swf was placed into Second InDesign document, there is no Loop command in the Media window.
In the Animation Window to get the Loop box to be active I have to choose a Preset (ie.: Appear, Disappear, Move In, Move Out…) even if you don't want one. But when this Second InDesign document is exported as a .swf the slide show runs one and then the Preset keeps repeating and doesn't run the slideshow again.
Also, is there a way to set how long each page is visible so when I export as a .swf I can have a running presentation, maybe even a looping one?

Answer 1

Go to the Program File Adobe> Abobe Illlustrator>Presets>en_GB>Brushes
Create a folder called "Custom Strokes"
Then create a new illustrator file called InDesign Strokes.
Open the Brushes panel and delete them all except basic (that can't be deleted).
Draw your custom Stroke based on the InDesign version you like (or your own Idea)
Select the new line style. On the Brushes panel you can choose the fly out menu (top right) and this gives you the option to create a New Brush.
Choose Art Brush.
Save your file into the Custom Strokes folder (back it up just in case)
In Illustrator you will see the option for Custom Stroke and your InDesign Strokes should be an option from the Brushes Panel.
