I have a flash form that works on its own. When i put it in my main timeline it stops working. Why ? Would the [color=red]**Stop()**[/color] command stop it from working?

You need to reference the movieclip you are sending instructions to. If it is within a mc of its own, give the mc an instance name and then reference it with \_root.mcname.stop();
