skip frame 1 after mc's timeline loops

[fruitbeard]

Hi

You probably need to declare some sort of variable for the movieclip to compare against

try doing something like this in the main timeline

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var clicked:Boolean = false;

startClipButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startClip);// this is other clip to be clicked

function startClip(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    clicked = !clicked;
    trace(clicked);
    trashInside_mc.play();
} 

and inside the trashInside_mc movieclip

//if (parent["clicked"] === false)
if (MovieClip(parent).clicked === false)
{
    stop();
}
else
{
    nextFrame();
} 

you can put all code on the main timeline really, but best get your thing working first, just mess around with it x
