Issues with nested smart animated components + after delay

Hey ya’ll, working on this project and ran into this issue where I have 3 separate components that each have two variants with smart animate in order to make them spin, which I then copied into another component set to smart animate those 3 animated components to pop up behind an element as they spin. When I preview this, it just jumps to the last variable with no animation.

The things I’ve checked/tried are:

  • Memory usage is only 2%
  • As far as I can see, all my layers are in the same order and the names are the same in each component
  • I’ve originally set the parent frame to auto layout and fixed hight and width, which caused me to put everything else in more nested frames to keep the elements overlapping like I wanted, but once reading that sometimes too many nested components can mess with smart animate, I have taken off auto layout for the parent but kept the fixed hight and width
  • I’ve tried setting the after delay for longer but it changes nothing
  • I’ve also tried not combining component sets and animating within them and instead using “navigate to” between frames with smart animate and after delay, yet only the bouncing animation plays but not the spinning, only if I preview the last frame it will spin

I’ve seen only one other question posted like mine here but it doesn’t have a solution yet so I figured I’d try asking myself.

Anyone else having this specific issue or know a good work around to get the same effect? Thanks!
