Hi. I’ve got a pretty simple question, well hopefully simple for everyone else, but unfortunately not for me. I’ve got a FLA where I’m trying to have my main timeline play a movie clip in a frame and wait until that movie clip finishes before it moves on to the next frame. I’m totally lost with this. I’ve tried to play around with eventlisteners but I’m a complete idiot when it come to actionscriptiong. Can someone please help? How should I handle the movieclip and it’s timeline and the main timeline of my movie? Thanks!
