Movie Clip Control

[brainpudding]

What i amtrying to do is i have 2 movies in the same swf I want it so when movie "A" gets to a certain frame it tells movie "B" to go to and play frame"X" and i tried the onenterFrame but it didnt work

A = setmovie
B = PPmovie
X = Frame label "PP1000"

in the certain frame in A add to the frame actions

_root.B.gotoAndPlay(X);

1st make sure the instances of the clips have a name (do this in the properties inspector). just to make sure you can address one from the other.
then double-click clip setmovie to be able to put some script in setmovie's timeline. at the point where you want to start PPmovie from click into the timeline and press F6 to generate a keyframe. then open the actionscript-window and write:

_parent.PPmovie.gotoAndPlay("PP1000");

go to the main timeline again and test the movie,
i think it should work now ;-)

...and don't forget to put some stop(); on the timeline of PPmovie at the point you want to stop it. otherwise it will run whether you give it the command to do or not.
