ok
I have a main scene called "main" with actions on different frames where the timeline stops and plays a movie clip.not with a tell target, the movie clip is sitting on that frame.
now when that mc finishes playing i want it to go to a certain frame on the main timeline.Ive tried to put an action on the last frame of the movie clip that goes
gotoAndPlay ("main", "whatis1");
but this does not seem to work, instead the main timeline just keeps looping the mc on that frame.
please help my ideas are exhausted.

does this work?
_parent.gotoAndPlay("whatis1");

you have to tell your action to basically "back out" of the movie clip and go to the base level. I don't know, "_parent" might work too, flash also understands "_root" as the base level. I had to do this recently, I threw in your "whatis1" frame label below. hope it works
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndStop ("whatis1");
}
what tipped me off was clicking "absolute" instead of "relative" for tell targetting
-
Tell Target is deprecated in F5 in favor of dot syntax...
So use:
_root.gotoAndStop("whatis1");

dolface had it...
_root.gotoAndPlay("whatis1");
_parent should work as well, but if both of these don't try this:
_level0.gotoAndPlay("whatis1");
(or whatever level this is on)...
