Hmm, I think it should have worked when you put it as the last frame in the movie clip 1. The only solution I can think of to your problem right now is to add x number of empty frames to your movie clip 2. x number being the number of frames in mc1. then you can place both MCs on the timeline and it should work right. I am sure there is another way, but for now that’s all I can think of.

No problem, glad I could help.

if you’re telling your first movie to play the other one…

_root.mc2.play();

or

_root.mc2.gotoandPlay(1);

that is really the way that should go.

good luck!

Very good, that is the kind of stuff I need to learn. As you may have read, I usually end up doing things the harder way. That is why I am now learning actionscript, so I can stop doing that…HAHA
