OK, This is the final animation goal

I want an object to zoom in from the center, rotate about its z axis and the fly off to the upper left corner.

I created an animation in Swift 3D that has an object rotating about the z axis.

I imported this into Flash for the rest of the animation (the zooming and the flying)

I was able to pause the movie clip for the zoom in with the following action script  
onClipEvent (load) {  
stop();  
}

The zoom animation stops at frame 25, at which point, I want to start the animation for the z axis rotation and stop it again at frame 50.

Is there a simple way to do this:q:
