Right, like the topic states I got quite a simple question that I can’t figure out myself.

I have a movieclip with an animation in it, animation1 for now. At frame 15 of that animation there is another movieclip, animation2. When animation 1 is done, animation 2 should play from frame 2.

When I press a button, animation 1 plays and stops at frame 15, from there the animation 2 should play from frame 2.

Quite easy… but can’t figure it out without getting errors =/

```auto
//event listeners
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAnimation);

function playAnimation(event:MouseEvent):void {
    Animation1.gotoAndPlay(2);
    //somehow play animation 2 when animation 1 is done
   Animation1.Animation2.gotoAndStop(2);
}

```

Hope anyone can clear this up for me 🙂
