Help with connecting movies -

Here’s a screenshot of the problem- www.skillfish.com/screenshot.gif

On layer 17/frame 1, I inserted a 30 second movie.

I would like to have the movie play once then jump to frame 2, which is the web page.

how do i do this?

thanks alot

at the end of your 30 second movie (which I assume is a movie clip) add the code

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

that should work.

Tried it several times but it didnt.

The “timeline” indicator kinda runs past frame 1, right into frame 2 thus, completely missing the 30 sec movie.

Here’s a screenshot on how the code you suggested

am i doing it right ?

nope… you added the code to this timeline, not the 30 second clip’s timeline.

Where you have that text, should be a

stop();

action.

Now, select the 30 second movie clip, right click and chose “edit in place”.

This will open up the timeline for the 30 second movie clip. At the end of THAT timeline, place

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
or
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
