Hey all,  
ok lets first start with my settings:  
i have a dynamic text box with the var: counter, instance: c2  
i have a MC on the screen with the code

```auto

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

```

i want to put some coding on the frame they are on to say, when the text box counter reaches 200, gotoAndStop(2);  
but i was puzzled as to how,  
thanks alot,
