Here’s a screenshot of the problem- [www.skillfish.com/screenshot.gif](http://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.

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.

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);
