sorry but i am really new at this and will not give up ,

i want to learn how to go from one movie clip to other but playing the current target movie out first and then play new movie

can not even explain well …

this is the code i have so far

function newPage(e:MouseEvent):void  
{  
new Tween(highlight\_mc,“x”,Strong.easeOut,highlight\_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,12,false);  
removeChild(currentPage.targetMC);  
currentPage = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);  
addChild(currentPage.targetMC);  
currentPage.targetMC.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

on removeChild i want to play out first the current movie and then go to the new movie …  
thank you in advance
