I have two movies in a MC(Books) I’d like to play one after each other. I have set up the timeline as seen above. The first movie(Green Book) is much longer than 10 frames so I just stop playing the timeline and let it play. What I’d like to do is at the end of the movie (Green Book) to tell the main MC (Books) to contimue playing at frame Worm

Now, if these two clips where on the root timeline i’d call something like:

```auto
_root.gotoAndPlay("worm");
stop();

```

But here I am at a loss.

I have tried:

```auto

     books.gotoAndPlay("worm");
    stop();
and:
    _root.books.gotoAndPlay("worm");
    stop();

```
