    If I have a function:
    f(x) = 4(x^3) + 150(x^2) + (-126)(x) + 446

    how would I solve for x if f(x)=448 ?

    If it's easier to explain you can just use a generic equation:

    f(x) =A(x^3) + B(x^2) +...

    I think the problem you're having is with the stop action on frame three. Instead try putting:
    gotoAndPlay(2);
    so it will keep looping until it gets big enough.
