Need help dealing with movie vlips - URGENT

I am making a website, and I have made the page transitions a movie clip. The
first page transition is 30 frames long and on the 30th frame a stop code is
present. I inserted the clip on a keyframe at 101 and extended it till 131.
Frame 132 contains the new page with a button on it. This works fine.

Now for the second page. It is also 30 frames long, and also has the stop code
on the 30th frame. It starts on frame 164 and I extended it to frame 194. Frame
195 contains the new page and a button. But when I test the movie, the button
never shows up! It gets to the end of the movie clip and stops, without moving
on to the 195th frame. In the movie I did Debug>Show Objects and it says that
the movie is on frame 164 still, though it is at the end of the 30 frame movie
clip!

I don't understand why the second page will not move onto the next frame
because I did the exact same thing for the first one and it works fine. If
someone has any idea what is wrong, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to look at my dilema.

Hi Kyle, welcome to Adobe forums.
First, make sure that you dont have any stray stop(); actions on any frames
which would prevent the timeline going from frame 164.
Then, make sure that the layer with your new page and button on frame 195,
actually have frames that far into the timeline, along with a stop(); action at
the end.

and finally, just double check that your navigation (buttons) are moving the
playhead to the correct frame in your timeline.

check on these things, and post back.

Thanks for the reply.

The first 2 things I checked, wasn't quite sure what you meant by last one...

But anyways I uploaded my .fla so you can take a look at it. BTW Im using
Flash 8.

Hi Kyle

I see the problem. In your main page (home page) you have gotoAndPlay() for
the about button, but you have gotoAndStop() for the flash and gimp buttons.
Change those to gotoAndPlay() and you should be fine.

Also, dont forget to add the back2_btn on the gimp page. I noticed you dont
have it there.

Good luck, let me know if theres anything else.
