Hi,

If anybody can help me figure this out, i would really appreciated. It’s probably something stupid but I can’t get it to work.

This is what I have…

- Main Movie
- Secondary Movie (in the library panel)

I have my main movie on frame 1 and a button as a control. The button when pressed will go to frame 2. But once I press the button it goes to frame 2 and does not play the movie. I want it to go to frame 2 play the movie and then stop. Then i want it to go to frame 3 and play the rest of the movie…

how do i this ???

Thank you and I appreciate the help…

Use the [[U]MovieClip.attachMovie[/U]](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary508.html) method to load the secondary movie from the Library. 😉
