hey everyone,

can you help me with the action script for the following…i’m using flash mx

main timeline has 2 frames.  
each frame contains it’s own movie clip.  
each frame has (stop) function.

now at the end of the MC (instance name = A) in frame 1 of the main timeline, i want to call the first frame of the MC (instance name = B) in frame 2 of the main timeline.

i know this is basic, but i can’t get it to work. what actionscript do i use here? how do i call frame 2 on the \_root timeline from the last frame of the movie clip that is placed in frame 1 of the \_root timeline?

ahhhhh. not enough sleep…

thanks!
