Hi All, I have a very simple question and I’d be glad for any suggestion for the same.

Let us say, I have an actionscripted animation on frame one, how do I trigger it to go to another frame and perfrom the actions there after completing the action on the first frame?

To illustrate, I have uploaded a **trigger.fla** with basic animations on frame 1 and frame 20.

How do I make the movie play out frame 1 and **when** that **ball**  **reaches 200px** , go to frame 20 and play that action?

My purpose in this is to understand how to trigger the next event after the completion of the previous event. I appreciate help and directions towards the best way to do such. I know this is probably a very silly question for you all, but a big step for me.

Grateful and Thank You for the help.
