hi,

I’m sure this is a simple question but I’m revisiting flash after a long absence and I’ve hit a snag.

Quite simply I made a longish movieclip (maybe 140 frames) and I’ve inserted it into my main timeline. I’m making a basic frames website (which I have made before but with static pages not long animations like this).

I have keyframes every 5 frames representing pages, with stop actionscript commands to stop before the next keyframe.

The problem is my long movieclip stops essentially in time with my main timeline - which makes sense in a way but i obviously dont want to happen. Also i would suprised if there was no solution.

Does anybody have any ideas?
