Hi!

I sometimes run in to this weird problem where my stop(); frame doesn’t actually stop. I have a movieclip named NestingMc which I bring to the stage via actionscript. Inside my NestingMc I have a movieclip ChildMc. ChildMc has a timeline on it’s own and on the first keyframe of that timeline I have written a simple stop(); command. But my ChildMc doesn’t actually stop in the first frame it just plays to the next keyframe that has a stop(); command.

Anyone? 🙂
