I'm sorry, I was kind of confused by the  question....but  I think

it's yes and yes? Yes you have to have separate animations, because

they have different  URLs or different frames to go to; but you can

use the same animation over and over again, and it will only count as

one.

I did this by copying the frames (and then paste frames), then setting

their destination (2nd from last frame of animation) to a different

frame each  time. I also used elements over and over again, by putting

them in the library; it saved time and besides it was kind of

interesting streaching and squeezing different graphics to get new

effects. - Mary Brzys/visual artist
