Stop movie from playing at frame 1?

programming flash
1

Hi people. I have a problem here. Is there a way to get my flash movie to start playing from Frame 2 instead of frame 1?

if you have a preloader, add this script to the preloader script:

gotoAndPlay(2);
3

or just put that into the first frame

Skinny_T, placing on frame 1 would defeat the purpose wouldn’t it?

abichap, doesn’t want frame 1 to be played at all.

5

but what happens if she doesnt have a preloader?

6

Well then there’s no way to skip frame 1 then.

Placing the script on frame one is the same as not having the script there at all because after frame 1 is frame 2.

7

well you even said it, she doesnt want frame one to be played and thats kinda impossible. Because even if she had a preloader it would go into frame one

8

Yeah you’re right, I was thinking her movie was starting on frame 3 if she had a preloader.

9

so whats the conclusion people? it is impossible to do?

10

  1. whats on frame one?

  2. Are you using a preloader? If yes, look at EG’s post

else look at mine

It would probably be easier to move frame 1 to somewhere else…

Did we ever figure out if she has a preloader or not? like E Geek said, just use gotoAndPlay(2); on frame 1 or gotoAndStop(2);
