I want to "Test Movie" to get a feel for what my animation looks like as a SWF file but I want to test it from a specific frame.
My reason for this is that normally if I go to Test movie, I have to watch my entire animation from the start when really, I might want to test it only to see if a certain part works.
And I do realise there is the "play" option in the timeline using Enter but that doesn't have the same effect as Test movie.

Is there any way of testing a movie from a specific frame?

Howdy and Welcome... :)

You could put gotoAndPlay(123); in frame 1 of your movie and do Test Movie to see if it plays from frame 123... I said 'try' because it sometimes does not work as you'd wanted when you have some ActionScript going on...
