When an MC ends?

[BTS2112]

Hello,
If I've got a movie clip, say 250 frames long, that I've got in frame 1 of my main time line, what code would I need (and where would this code go) if I wanted to play frame 2 of the main time line when the 250 frames of my MC are through?
Thanks for your help!

It doesnt matter how long your movie clip is so long as the stops are in the right place. I have attached a corney sample but you'll get the idea.

Youll notice that on the main time line there are only two frames and inside each movie clip there is a different number of frames on each. When you use stops in your actions layer it prevents the movie on the main time line from running while the movie clip inside the movie is doing its thing.

Thanks!
I'm having some trouble opening the file because I'm on a computer with MX 2004 but I'll take a look at it when get to another computer.

I can do it in 2004 cause i have that too on my system...If you give me a sec I can redo it in mx2004 and re-send the file

I thought I still had mx2004 but i must have uninstalled it when i got studio 8. But if you have access to 8 then you know where the file is. Have a nice day.

On the last frame of your MC:
_root.play();

But if you have only two frames on your main timeline, you will need a stop() on frame 2 or your MC will begin again. :]
