Flash CS4 Actionscript 3.0 --- Make my script loop!

Question

Here is my script... all I want to do is have it continuously loop!

import fl.transitions.Tween;

import fl.transitions.easing.*;

yourwebsite_mc.visible=false;
var uptodateFadeTween=new Tween(uptodate_mc,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,3,true);
var uptodateRotateTween=new Tween(uptodate_mc,"rotation",Strong.easeOut,360,0,3,true);
var uptodateXTween:Tween=new Tween(uptodate_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,-250,200,3,true);


var uptodateDone:Timer=new Timer(3000,1);
uptodateDone.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerDoneF);
uptodateDone.start();

function timerDoneF(e:TimerEvent):void {
    var uptodateYTween:Tween=new Tween(uptodate_mc,"y",Strong.easeOut,129,-150,3,true);

}

var uptodateFlyUp:Timer=new Timer(3500,1);
uptodateFlyUp.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerDoneG);
uptodateFlyUp.start();


function timerDoneG(e:TimerEvent):void {
    yourwebsite_mc.visible=true;
    var yourwebsiteXTween:Tween=new Tween(yourwebsite_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,-200,450,1.5,true);
}

I'm not sure what exactly you want to loop continuously so here's a shot in the dark...

You can define a continuous loop like so:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void
{
    // any code in here will execute every frame
}

If you want each of your timers to run forever just modify your code to the following:

var uptodateDone:Timer = new Timer(3000);
uptodateDone.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerDoneF);
uptodateDone.start();

and

var uptodateFlyUp:Timer=new Timer(3500);
uptodateFlyUp.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerDoneG);
uptodateFlyUp.start();

This will result in timerDoneF being called every 3000 milliseconds and timerDoneG being called every 3500 milliseconds forever. Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

there is basically 2 times events going on, with 2 different pieces of texts flying around. once it complete, i would like it to start over from the beginning. removing the 1 from new Timer(3000, 1) was a cool trick, which it made it happen every 3seconds, but the other timer was happening every 3.5 seconds and they started to interfere. thanks for you advice -- i already learned something new today, but i'd really just like this code to keep repeating itself once its finished.

another thing i've just tried is i made the whole proejct run as a timer, so ever 6.5 seconds it would restart... it's kind of working, but some of the text is out of place... any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

ok heres what i did now. i made the action run normally with different timers... then i made the action again run on a timer to run after the initial set completes. its not 100% what i wanted, but pretty close. sorry for being a noob --- if anyone else has any reccomendations, please let me know.
