Hi,  
I need help on gotoAnPlay on a flash mx 2004 movie, I made a simple movie with a movie clip ( TestMovie ) inside the main timeline and inside the Movie Clip ( TestMovie ) is a simple tween of some text, and on frame 1 is a stop(); to stop the movie playing on. The problem is when I use the gotoAndPlay from the main timeline to start the movie clip ie \_root.TestMovie.gotoAndPlay(2); the TestMovie clip just stops on frame 2 and dose not play. I have posted the fla file, If someone could help please.

Thanks Tech-Head
