Simiple Movie Question that I am missing

[qgriffith]

I am sure I have over looked something very easy. When you insert a moive in your main time line how do you get it to contiune down your main timline after the movie is over that you inserted into the main timeline. After the movie plays it does not exit its own timeline and contiune down the main time line. Is it because I put the action for "stop" at the end of the movie time line or is there some action script you have to have to tell the movie when it is done playing to exit and go back to the main timeline to contiune down it? Thanks.

Your making a thinking error there. Flash doesn't start playing the movie and stops playing the _root, then when finished with the MC continues to play _root. Everything plays simultanously unless u tell it to do otherwise. If u want the main timeline to stop while playing the MC just put a stop(); at that frame and on the last frame of the MC state : _root.gotoAndPlay(whatever frame u want it to play);

Or did u place something on a higher layer ? In that case its still _root. Then its that stop(); over there. Why don't u remove it and see what happens ?
