Hi,

I have a motionclip in my library. I have that clip on frame 2 of my movie. I have the movie stop() on frame 1 and some AS code will eventaully tell it to gotoAndPlay(2); That will cause it to go to frame 2, but how do I get it to play the motion clip on frame 2? Do I need some AS code for that?

Thanks
