I’m having some trouble with playing a flash movie.

When the flash animation starts, i want to start a movie clip with instance name roof.  
So i just put this in my code. : roof.gotoAndPlay(2);  
Flash go’s to the secont frame, but stops there.

When i use a button to start the secont frame, it works.  
So this works and plays :

> stopmusic.onRelease = function(){  
> \_root.mySound.stop();  
> \_root.roof.gotoAndStop(1);

```
nextFrame();

```

}

What am i forgetting here?
