gotoAndPlay() problem 1

[tviman]

This has got to be so easy, but I'm just not getting it...

I have a movie clip placed in it's own layer (layer 2) on frame 1 of the main timeline. After it finishes, I want to return to the main timeline (layer 1) and continue with the rest of the scene. I have a stop() action on the last frame of the movie clip and I've followed it with _root.gotoAndPlay(2) in hopes that it would return to the main timeline, frame #2. But all I get is an endless loop of layer #1 and the movie clip doesn't play.

What am I not doing?

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

I think you need a stop on frame 1 of your main movie.

Nick...

Thanks - but if I do that then I get nothing. This can't be that difficult, can it?

Okay - got it fixed... Nick was right - I just can't type very well

Thanks Nick - a star for you!
