Hi there.

Im having this problem, i´ve made a movie clip that is a animation of a letter with 26 frames.

I want that this movie clip plays on the 1 frame of the main timeline and only  
after he plays the 26 frames to go to frame 2 of the main timeline.

How do i do this ?  
what´s the synthax?

thank you,

add this action on the last frame of your animation. (in the movieclip)

\_root.gotoAndStop(2);

there ya go!  
\_root refers to the main timeline and gotoAndStop(); just tells it to go to frame #2! It’s as easy as that!
