play() action won't work

[NIA2]

Hi everyone,

I have a very simple question - I think.

I have a movieclip on the main timeline called "intro_mc". Within this movieclip is another movieclip called "corpcat_mc". There are several instances of corpcat_mc on different layers which animate at different times.

I've put a stop action on the first and last frames of intro_mc, then on frame 1 of the main timeline I tried to add some actionscript that will tell intro_mc to play. The actionscript is as follows:

this.intro_mc.play();

Problem is it doesn't play when I test it. Does anyone know why?

Appreciate any help.

click your mc and add this code
on(rollOver)
{this.gotoAndPlay(2);}

You can even target the movieclips inside that movie from any button bythis plays frame 2 of corpcat_mc.

on(rollOver)
{_root.intro_mc.corpcat_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);}

I'd gladly pay you on Thursday
