I have a 3 movieclip buttons on the main timeline when pressed they need to play 2 movieclips and then depending on which button was pressed go to a frame on the main timeline.

Basically there are 2 movieclips on the maintimeline in frame 1 that I want to animate when a button is pressed and then when the 2 movies are done playing go to the frame that is associated with the button that is pressed.

Summary:

(1) when either one of the 3 buttons is pressed it triggers the 2 movieclips to start playing

(2) when the movies come to an end the main timeline needs to go to a frame.

(3) depending on which button is pressed the timeline needs to go to the frame associated with that button.

```
B1 go to frame 16

B2 go to frame 17

B3 to to frame 18

```

Not sure if this is clear enough but I am stuck.

Thanks.
