</div>

here is the code i have,

on (press) {  
startDrag (this, true);  
}  
on (release) {  
stopDrag ();  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/box”) {  
\_root.box.gotoAndStop(5);  
}  
}

what i want is instead of it going and stopping on frame 5 of the movie clip i want it to goto and stop on frame 5 of the actual movie, how do i do this,

Thanks,

Mike

If you mean what I think you mean, then you just need

\_root.gotoAndStop(5)

ie. get rid of the “box” bit so you send it to the main timeline. If you don’t mean that, then I dunno…
