I’ve got a very basic fla file which actually worked on flash5 but it’s no more working with flashmx 2004… A movie clip move from a position , let say A, to B, then to C. I insert a stop(); action on B, so the movie stop. Inside the movie entitie I insert a button with the command play() (I have also try \_level0.play() or nameofmovie.play()). I expected that the movie continue playing from B to C but it does nothing… Here is the fla file… someone can help me… [loicc@altern.org](mailto:loicc@altern.org)
