[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hi Guys[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’m built a movie clip which I am controlling with key commands. I can control the position of the movie clip with the script I have, but I have a glitch with controlling the playback head and telling it to go to specific frames inside my movie clip. I have attached my script to my movieclip. None of my this.play(); scripts seem to work. I’ve tried gotoAndPlay also, with no luck.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’ve posted the entire script just incase there is a conflict somewhere[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Any suggestions?[/SIZE][/FONT]
