In the main timeline I can’t get the movie to stop(). It keeps going.

This was discussed in this forum earlier, but was never solved. I’m sure it is something small that I haven’t learned yet about AS3.

Another question regarding goToAndPlay(). How would I access the main movie from a child movie? I tried Stage.goToAndPlay(“home”) and it didn’t do crap.

I could use some help with this.

Thanks,
