</div>

on(release){  
holder\_mc3.loadMovie(“pic\_grid.swf”), gotoAndPlay(5);  
}

Here’s my Action Script that’s on a button. I’m trying to have the button both load the movie and start playing it from the frame that I specify.

It’s loading but its stopping at the first frame because every frame has stop(); in the script.

What am I doing wrong regarding the gotoAndPlay…?

Thanks
