Does your button start/stop/modify a timer? I have experienced the same issue when using timers alongside Lottie animations. ---

If you are using web viewer to load your animation, you need to set the URL property to empty text when you navigate from the web viewer screen. ---

Can you share a screenshot of the blocks for the button that is causing the animation to reset? Or share the project itself? That will help with troubleshooting. ---

I can tell from the video that the animation is resetting because the background image of the button is being changed. For some reason, any sort of layout change (resizing, background change, text change) makes the animation reset. Definitely a bug that needs to be addressed. Cute little cloud animation by the way! ---

Hi @danyklein, Can you tell us a little bit more about what’s happening here - are you using the [Lottie](https://docs.thunkable.com/lottie) component? Are you installing your app on your device or are you seeing this while live testing? ---

@danyklein - I don’t think this is unique to cloned animations. Any chance you can make a video of this or PM a simple example of this in action? As far as I know it only affects certain animations. ---
