So I’ve loaded an image into a movieclip that spans across two frames. When I tell the containing movieclip to gotoAndStop(2) the image disappears. Shouldn’t it still be there since the movieclip I’m loading it into spans both frames?

```auto
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(filename));  
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadImageIntoContainer);

function onLoadImageIntoContainer(evt:Event):void {
    card_container_mc.photo_container_mc.addChild(evt.target.content);
    evt.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadImageIntoContainer);
}

```

Then if I do card\_container\_mc.gotoAndStop(2); the image disappears. Remember that the movieclip “photo\_container\_mc” spans two frames inside of “card\_container\_mc”.

Thanks!
