Hope this isn’t a stupid question…but I can’t seem to figure it out.

I have a MC on my main timeline…that plays…however, when it is through, I want an action that will take me back to the main timeline at a specific frame…the goto and play"whatever"…doesn’t work…because it just goes to that particular frame inside the MC itself…

or…is there a simple method to “remove” the movieclip?..this is not a .swf file…by the way.

Thanks,

mark
