Several times I’ve attempted to set the onLoad of a movie clip without success. I’ve heard the problem is that (when I set the onload in the frame) the onLoad time has already happened. I also heard that somewhere there was a tutorial on this site but I never could find it. Anyway here is my current code and If someone could tell me what to do with it I’d be grateful.

[AS]  
dotOnLoad = function () {  
//onload stuff  
}  
dotOnFrame = function () {  
//onenterframe stuff  
}

f1.onLoad = dotOnLoad; // no ‘()’ for onloads I think  
f1.onEnterFrame = dotOnFrame;  
[/AS]

Hope you can help.
