this seams to be a simple thing to do…but for some reason it’s not working  
i’ve a mc in timeline (quintaSlide):  
\_root.introAnim.quintaSlide

inside this one i set a interval:  
var tempoQ:Number = setInterval(goframe, 6000);

how can i clear this interval from \_root?!

try…  
**clearInterval(\_root.introAnim.quintaSlide.tempoQ)**

if not then try…  
**\_root.tempoQ = setInterval(goframe, 6000);**  
and **then clearInterval(\_root.tempoQ)**

pffff…  
thx, it works!  
I was doing that, but this happen me a lot, when calling the clearInteval before I had a “play” that moved the mc introAnim to another frame (where no longer existes the quintaSlide) so the clear would find nothing o clear…

just change the order of the code and it works
