button within movie clip only playing one frame

[tristan888]

Hi,

I have a button within a movie clip which has the following code:

on(release)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

However, it only plays the second frame on the main timeline and not the following ones. (There is no "stop();" command on this frame in my actions layer).

Why is this?

What is the structure of your timeline ?
Logically, it should just go to the second frame and play.

ive got a stop() on the first frame. There is another stop on frame 15. so i expect frames 2-15 to be played. Is my button code correct?

I tried the same thing on a dummy FLA and it works as it should ....:puzzled:

I found that it does play the frames, i have a tween on a movie instance between these frames that doesnt appear to play. However, it plays the tween of a graphic. It is as if it wont play motion tweens on movies, but it will on graphics
