Hello,  
I have an onClipEvent on my mc in first frame of my movie, and I want it to finish its action first and then tell it to go to the second frame. I was wondering if some one can help me with that.

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
	this._parent.stop();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this._currentframe == this._totalframes) this._parent.play();
}

```
