Hi,

Very new to Flash and really need some help here.

I'm using a program called Text-Osterone which is software that creates text effects and then exports FLA and SWF files for use in Flash.

Now, I exported my FLA file and brought it (and the automatically generated Action Script) in to Flash document as a Movie Clip. The movie clip contains the stop() command and stops the entire Flash movie from playing once the movie clip ends.

I've tried adding the play() command after the stop() command but it skips the Movie Clip animation. I need to know how to play the movie clip in its entirety and then continue the Flash movie once its done.

ANY HELP WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED!!!!

Thanks!

Well first remember that you access objects in a Movie using instance names.

So you can have the main movie stop to play the Movie Clip. At the end of the Clip, add the following code:

_root.play()

That makes the the ROOT MOVIE play when the Movie Clip is finished.

Hope that helps...
