Im a beginner in Figma and watched some videos on how to do a loading animation. I did exactly what the videos said but everytime i tested the animation wouldnt work and just stayed still. I’ve seached this topic and the solutions given in other posts didnt worked.


Heres the Loading:


For the animation im using:

After delayed = 1ms

Smart animate - Linear =300ms

Hey @Joao_Carlos_Fernandes_Ferreira, thank you for reaching out!


Can you provide a direct link to the file here, and invite support-share@figma.com with “can edit” permission so I can investigate what’s causing this. Note that users with @figma.com emails on your team do not count towards your billing.


If you’re unsure on how to invite someone to a file, please follow these steps:



  1. Click the “Share” button at the top-right corner of the Editor

  2. In the next window, type support-share@figma.com into the text box

  3. Select the “can edit” permission option

  4. Click the “Send invite” button



Thanks in advance!


Hey, I think your animation is right. This happened to me too. And, I think you need a “trigger” to make it work. There are two ways to make this work:



  1. You press “R” to restart the prototype

  2. You begin with another frame A, and then make an interaction on the frame A to navigate to frame B.


Can you try this?


I didnt quite understand the second part but the first part worked initially but then it stopped and i tried clicking “R” but didnt work.


Could you please share the file in my DM and enable the edit mode, so I can help?


I actually was able to make it work, ig when copy pasting to a new project its must of cut the connections but now i remade it and its working. Thank you for your time and for the help!!


No worries! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask the community.
