Ok, i have a MC named player, it is the person, it moves around when you press the keys (up down left right), i have another MC named enemy, this follows the player MC (these are instance names), when enemy touches player, the counter ( a textbox, with the var: counter) goes to zero, but, there is another MC on the stage, with the code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_root.counter ++;  
}

so basiclly, the counter goes up rapidly but if the enemy MC touches you then the score is reset to 0, i want to make it so that when the textbox (counter) reaches 1000, it plays frame two,  
i tried

if (\_root.counter == “1000”){  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
but i dont know whatelse to do!  
many thanks
