Are your sure your 'fotogramma' variable carries an integer of frame number? Thats might be the error.

You have to give the movieclip an instance name in order to target it, so make sure it has one. In this case the instance name is "myMovieClip". Then you give the frame you want to go to a frame label name f.e. "myFrame".
Using this code should work:

_root.myMovieclip.gotoAndPlay("myFrame");

strange...i tried to write

onClipEvent (load) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
}

and it works...i really don't know!

See if there's something you don't understand. I just did exactly as I explained to you above.

You're quite something! A simple instance name and gotoAndPlay you cannot manage, but a more compicated and harder to understand onClipEvent, you can...

Anyways, I fixed it for you, but, indeed, you can just as well use the onClipEvent.

But when you want to get better at flash it is important you learn how to things in different ways and also understand what the code you are using really does.

Keep it up!
