Hi all,

I encountered this weird problem that my movieclip stopped playing at  
a certain frame by itself. I have a movieclip with as3 code in it, and it will  
have animation when you rollover. I put this movieclip in another movieclip.  
I was working fine, however after I added some other things, it just stopped  
working. Another weird part is that I put it in four movieclips and it will work in  
the first one but not the others. It will just stop at a certain frame no matter  
if I write something in that movieclip or I write something outside of it to tell  
it to play… Anyone has this kind of problem before? Thanks.
