Hi, I have a movie on one timeline this is the loading of the interface, i.e the effects. However after this sequence is fully loaded, i.e frame 250 as an example. A stop script is placed at the end obviously, but say i have a little movie clip in a different layer outside of that movie, how on earth to i get this to play when i choose. i.e when frame loaded in movieclip “template” play movieclip “effects”. Anyone please assit me.

yours

I’m not sure if I’m understanding this correctly, but you could probably use the [AS]gotoAndPlay();[/AS] function. :cyborg:

Thanks for your reply, no that would not do it, its more complicated my friend. I got it in the end. using the

\_root command, and the instance name of the movie clip it works perfectly.

Thanks for trying.
