I have a fla file with a movieclip that has two frames. I try to change the movieclips frame by gotoAndStop through the as file but it doesn’t work. No error it just doesn’t do anything.
fla file code on first(only one frame)
import com.mygame.dodge.Dodge;
var classDodge:Dodge = new Dodge();
addChild(classDodge);

I put this into the constructor function and when the program adds the child its frame doesn’t come out to what I want it to.
MovieClip(mcStartButton).gotoAndStop(2);
Thanks.
