I just have a quick basic question. I want to understand exactly how playback works in a flash timeline when it comes to nested MovieClips.
When you tell a MovieClip to gotoAndPlay a certain frame what happens to the children MovieClips found inside that particular frame? Similarly with gotoAndStop?
I was doing a project that had many nested MovieClips inside different frames. When I told to parent to gotoAndStop at a certain frame, the children would still play. Does this mean that regardless of whether you tell a MovieClip to stop or play at a frame, that all that frame's child MovieClips will play themselves by default?
Hope I made sense with that question. Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
