F-30 Vs F-31 Six Package

I need a little input. I'm trying to use control command in a script to loop a 60 second prerecorded animation that used the scripting recorder. I have the ability to play forward and reverse, but I'd like to be able to loop the animation indefinitely. Seems simple but i must be missing something.
