I’m sure this is a VERY obvious basic question…

BUT (!)

Is there any way to place a stop command on a frame of a LAYER only, rather than the whole frame 1 of all layers within my movie? (ie I want the rest of the movie to play whilst one layer (which has the ability for the user to push a ‘next’ button to move through the frames in that layer) stops until the user pushes the next button)

Thank you.

Kristen.
