Hello EveryBody,  
I stucked again,

I have a MovieClip named “all\_Pages” inside of it has timeline tweening on its child “pg” which has sets of pages as child of pg on frames

Here is the problem  
I am trying to execute the code written on all\_pages first frame which is 6th frame

all\_pages.pg.gotoAndPlay(6);

while executing all\_pages.gotoAndPlay(1); // timeline tweening  
i.e  
if (e.target.name == “txtField1”)  
{  
all\_pages.pg.gotoAndStop(9);  
all\_pages.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
else if(e.target.name == “txtField2”)  
{  
all\_pages.pg.gotoAndStop(8);  
all\_pages.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
else if (e.target.name == “txtField3”)  
{  
all\_pages.pg.gotoAndStop(7);  
all\_pages.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
else if (e.target.name == “txtField4”)  
{  
all\_pages.pg.gotoAndStop(6);  
all\_pages.gotoAndStop(1);  
}

but everytime “all\_pages.gotoAndPlay(1)” executes it plays its first frame( 6th frame only). I want it to play  
pages at specific frame with its parent tweening
