First post - I’m a designer just picking up AS2 for the 3rd year - so I know how to get in trouble… 😃

nonetheless, I created a flash presentation for the company I work for and they want to use the demo at conferences and what not… It’s a single scene with nested/nested/nested MC spewn throughout… right now everything was hodgepodged in AS3 as I was desperately trying to get familiar with it. So I suck ☹

I can’t figure out how to tell the topmost timeline (or root?) timeline to play as soon as an embedded mc finishes playing or even one layer above the nested MC - everything is on a timeline, nothing is loaded, I have no real programming skill anymore…or ever 😛

my final result is to have my same button driven presentation run automatically so the buttons no longer need to be clicked to continue.

I know it’s simple, but my brain is doing a lot of other stuff and can’t think straight anymore… anyone can help?
