well this is my problem, i have a movie clip, and in this movie clip, i have another movie clip. So i have movie clip\_1 and in movie clip\_1 there is movie clip\_2. I stopped movieclip\_1 with a simple stop action and have a button on release go to and play frame 50, now, frame 50 is were the movieclip\_2 is at. and there is also a stop action at frame 50. Now my problem is, when the play head is at frame 50, when i press the goto and play button _again_, why does it skip me to frame 51? instead or replaying a frame? how can i get it so that the button, WHEN at frame 50 will just replay frame 50?

well the playhead is going to frame 50 and starts playig from there. if you want it to just repeat, just copy the frame and paste it next to it. Esentially, frame 50 and 51 would be the same, in this example.

Good luck.

hmm, i tried that, and it didn’t work, it doesn’t go to the next frame. It will initially start playing frame 50, but then when i try to press it again, the button just blinks and doesnt do anything. Is there some kinda of repeat action script i can apply to a button for a frame?
