Question

can you asign this:

introclip.gotoAndPlay(2);

action to a frame in the main movie?
because it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

Hello there.

Please explain what you want to do.
To do action to the main timeline you have to use:

   _root.gotoAndPlay(2);

no no. I have a movie clip called introclip. I want it to play as soon as the main timeline gets to a certain frame(frame 5 if it’s of any importance). Also, if i replace the line of code i gave with:
tellTarget(introclip) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
which usually works, the script hangs up and aborts.

So , if you have your movie clip on the main timeline put on the desire frame this code:

   _root.introclip.gotoAndPlay(2);

This should work…
