Hi I'm a very beginner and I wasn't able to find an answer on my question, probably because it's difficult for me to formulate it right... So I have an animation movie which in general needs to be played just once but some parts of it needs to be looping forever. how to loop just some layers on the timeline and leave other layers to be played just once? Is it possible?
Thank you!
layers don't exist in your published file so you can't control individual layers.
to work-around that follow the advice of rezun8​ and convert each layer to a movieclip. ie, select all the frame in that layer, right click > click cut and then create a new movieclip and paste the cut frames into the new movieclip's timeline.
you can then control that movieclip's timeline independent of the main timeline.

use MovieClips to make that happen. Think of the MovieClip (MC) as a smaller timeline animation that resides within the main timeline.

Because that's exactly what it is.
