Hi there Yari. To make you animation work, put a stop action in the first

frame of your "Head" movie, don't put the stop action on the main timeline.

Although this will work, I must tell you that this is NOT the best (most

efficient) way to achieve the effect that you are looking. 


What you should do is make a MC containing the head moving from one side to

the other and use tell target to trigger the effect once the correct button

is pressed. Each button would have the following action:


on (release)

	Begin Tell Target ("/head")

		Go To and Play (1)

	End Tell Target

End On


The layer named "head movie" would contain the MC "Head" and nothing else

(get rid of those random keyframes with motion tweens, they are not

necessary).


Also, if you are doing frame by frame animation (creating a keyframe for

each position of the object) it is not necessary to give each keyframe a

motion tween action. See the following URL (a good tutorial by Chrissy Rey)

for information on basic motion tweening.
