My Flash file contains two scenes: “preloader” and “scene 1”. There are two movie clips in my library.

“scene 1” has two frames. Frame 1 has the first movie clip. Frame 2 has the second movie clip. Frame 1 and 2 both have actions to stop, so that the movie clips will play.

I have placed this action at the end of the first movie clip: “\_parent.gotoAndStop(2);”. The theory is that at the end of the first movie clip, it will go to frame 2 in “scene 1” and stop… allowing the second movie clip to play.

My problem: At the end of the first movie clip, I’m taken to the preloader instead, I can’t seem to figure out how to tell the end of my first movie clip to simply go to “scene 1” and stop at frame 2.
