hy guys,

Im trying to make 1 animation in my backgound when the menu buttons are pressed… I want that the background movieclip raise to a 2x scale and then change the color…

My question is… can i play only some part of the motion that is in the movieclip…

## I know this commands… background\_mc.gotoAndStop(3); background\_mc.gotoAndPlay(3);

isnt there a way to play background\_mc movieclip from frame 4 to frame 8 only?
