full movie clip not playing on menu click

[codecomm]

Hi!

I’m pretty new to FLASH .

I have a box transition that works when I test my movie, and everything starts from my “_about” frame. All’s good at first.

If I click a button/menu that returns back to my “About” section, then my box movie clip transition doesn’t play from start to end…I just see the last box, and that’s it. I don’t get the full animation.

I guess I don’t understand why the box movie clip works when the movie first plays showing / ending on “About”, then if I click the “About” button to replay that section and test everything…the box movie clip doens’t play fully.

Clicking the “About” menu item has the action script of: gotoAndPlay(“_about”

Thanks!

In your "_about" frame place a code to send the play-head of your "box" MovieClip to 1. Something like:
[tt]boxMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(1);[/tt]
