I am trying to play around with the "X" animation in Figma that rotates non-stop. The problem I'm facing is whenever I am done with variants and prototyping and click the preview the X is static. I also tried the rectangles. same issue- Kindly help.

I can't lol. im using a free version and I can't move the file out of the drafts 😬 .
Kindly try to make this animation yourself in your way. if it works then probably im missing something

Hey @iron coral ! So I made it and it works for me, and i have a guess why id doesnt work for you.
The reason why it might not work for you:
I think for smart animate to work, it has to be a change within the frame. Currently (I think) you are rotating the x or the rectangle by rotating the outer frame itself. Smart animate i think jsut works on the things within it.
How I solved this issue:
I put the the x in a farme and that frame is in the "main frame" that has the smart animation connection on. The inner frame is what I am rotating

Ouuuu I see. Thank you! now it's working
The last thing I'm noticing is that it doesn't rotate infinitely
(check out the component I made in that same file)
Do i have to make more variants? or mess with timing? lemme know what you think-

Do you consider mine as rotating infinitely?
Or if not, what do you mean by rotating infinitely?

Nope It only rotates 180 degrees.

oh so you mean to go around 360?
iron coral

360 degree full rotation

I just updated mine if you check it rotates 360
So i think with yours it thinks that it needs to go til -90 and then it just goes back to 0 when in reality you want it to go to -360 technically
