By now you've seen several other responses on how to do this. Just thought

I'd mention that if the intention is to have an object in a repeating

orbit, you don't really want it to complete the circle; ideally it should

travel the entire circle *minus* the distance it tweens from one keyframe

to the next. This way the beginning position is not duplicated when it

loops back from the last frame to the first. this is good to keep in mind

for all tweens that loop in movie clips.
