MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(2); ???

right I want my animation to go to say, frame 2- so in the first frame I type

MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(2);

or just

gotoAndStop(2)


but it just stops the movie doesn't go anywhere!@

also why can't I add actions to movie clips??

the correct code would be is it possible that your already on frame 2?

Also you need to add code inside movieclips so make sure that you don't have an item on the stage selected when you try to add code to the clip.

u can't add actions to movie clips in the actionscript3
u have to work with actionscript2 if u want to do that
