Hello:
I a month ago I changed to MX. And I dont understand something. Suppose I name a MC "mc_circle" and then use let
s say
tellTarget(“mc_circle”) {
play();
or
_root.mc_circle.play();
both have to loop before my mc is loaded.
What do I have to do so that it runs on the first loop. I don`t know what I´m doing wrong. Please correct me
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps.
i don’t understand your problem. What is looping? Why is it looping? Explain a little more clearly please. 
The first time it passes it does not respond to my play().
Then the second time it does.
For example
My timeline
1--------------------------------------------------------20
Suppose I have my mc defined as mc_1
My actionscript suppose it activates on 1
The first time it passes it does not respond to play()
But on the second time it reaches one then it plays
I`ve put a stop() on frame 20 and it does not play anything
if I remove that it does play()
Should I attach a file so you can see?
Thanks
please do its kind of confusing and we cant fully understand what your trying to do 
Here`s my problem.
MX file
Thank you very much for helping.
Please someone at least say.
That is weird or what happened when you tried to see the file. Am I the only one who it happened to. Or do you get the same results.
Maybe someone moved my configuration. Or something,
