Dear all,

I have a movie that plays as an introduction. If a user wants to skip the movie and go to frame 225 but continue playing the movie then I thought I would use this code:

onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (Key.getcode() == Key.SPACE) {  
gotoAndPlay(225);  
}  
};

what actually happens is the movie skips to frame 225 but then stops. Now if I leave the movie to play from the start it will get to 225 and continue playing…

strange??? Yes…

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  
Sam.
