Restarting a movie

[LeBodge]

Hi all,

I must being doing something wrong here, but I just can't get it to work (and as always time is running out) so here goes....

In frame 1 of the main movie I've got a stop; and a large movie clip (an imported swf file)

What I want to do is when imported movie clip ends to restart the main movie again from frame 2

All it seems to do is run the imported movie then stop

Any help please!!!

Do you have any control of the imported swf - do you have the original fla? frozenpeas

No unfortunatly not, it's an exported movie from swish, it imports into flash with 285 individual keyframes.

Just import the SWiSH swf into a movie clip symbol. Then on the last frame of that MC,

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

can you have the imported movie load in a loop between frame 1 and 2 and assign the bytes loaded to a variable then when the variable reaches the max number have the main skip to frame 3?

Thanks Frozenpeas,

That got in working, I don't really know why but my

gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", "cont1"

didn't work but your

_root.gotoandplay("cont1"

worked fine

Any ideas?

Goto's are sometimes a bit funny... you sometimes have to try a few different things. frozenpeas
