I have a movie clip, with about 6 sub-movieclips in that, in each sub-movieclip is an animation, (on rollover, play, on rollout stop) but then I put 'on release goto and play ‘qualifications’, but it doesn’t…I don’t know why, can anyone help? I have attatched the zip with it in.
**Note: the actionscript is just ‘paraphrasing’ 😉**

Download your fla from [http://flex.funkyolive.com/test/resume.fla](http://flex.funkyolive.com/test/resume.fla).
Use the same method for the other scenes.
Try using frame labells, when you use gotoAndPlay, etc.

Hehe, thanks. I’ve taken the file off my webspace - email me at [olives@funkyolive.com](mailto:olives@funkyolive.com) and I’ll send you the fla. It saves other people downloading the 1.2 Mb fla and using up my bandwith.
