I'll take it...heh


Try this:

If I have time later, I'll re-do the sample movie I made to get this to work

& annotate it.


1. make your movie clip. in whatever frame you want, assign Action:Tell

Target:Go to and Play to it, tell it what frame you want, and set the target

to "/"


2.in the destination frame, put a "play" action. otherwise, it just goes

there and stops.


By the way, you can't tell it which scene you want to go to. a rather sneaky

way around this problem is to test your movie (Ctrl-Enter on a Win box),

move the playback head to whatever frame you want to go to, and then copy

down that number and put that in your movie clip.


For instance, if you have two scenes, the first with 50 frames and the

second with 30, and you wanted to go to frame 20 of scene 2, you'd put "70"

in the little box. Just make sure you put your "play" action in there.


Kind of inelegant, but it accomplishes what you want.
