SyntaxError

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm an absolute flash newbie, forgive me for asking st*pid questions... I tried the help file and did a forum search but with no luck, so here we go.
My question is this:
I have a MC with a dynamic text field. In the MC the text line scrolls from left to right on the screen (like on CNN) untill it's completely out of the screen... works fine :)
But now I want to get it in a loop: when the MC is finished I want it to start over again... when I enter this is the last frame:
gotoAndPlay(1);
It doesn't work correctly... it seems as if the variables don't reset (which is strange 'cause theyre defined in the first frame of the MC).
So I fumbled a little and came up with this workaraound:
I let the MC trigger the main timeline to jump to the next frame (in which the MC isn't visible). And after that I let the main timeline jump back one frame (where the MC is visible).
That's the only way I get it to work... what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
