Hello all,

Oke I did this many times before but how it doesn’t work and I have no idea what I did wrong.

I have one scene. Three layers: Layer A and layer B and a Action Layer.

In the action layer at frame 1 I but in a Stop Command so that the animations doesn’t play before I do something.

I create a button in Layer A. And put in a action to tell: GotoandPlay frame 5.

In layer B at frame 5 I put in a MC.

When I test the animation and press the buttn it goes to frame 5 but does not play the animation of the MC. It just disappears… :red:

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong ?
