Can't start clip with _root.gotoAndPlay(2)

Question

Well, seems very simple but can't make it work.
My main timeline has just one keyframe and 2 layers.
Layer 1: actions with stop(); and
_root.ball_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
Layer 2: instance of movieclip named ball_mc
the movieclip has 10 frames with a motion tween: In frame one
stop();
When I publish the film the ball doesn't move at all even
though I have the _root.ball_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
Does it has anything to do the fact that main timeline has
only 1 frame? why isn't it working?
Thanks in advance for your time

Answer 1

Hi, Yes it has. So don't know why it isn't working :(
I thought could be something about de Load Order of publish
settings because of having just one keyframe, but if you assure me
it doesn't matter there's a single frame in the main timeline...
Would appreciate if anyone sends me the .fla example I
mention working properly...
P.D: don't know why, but my example works properly if I
change the actions in keyframe 1:
_root.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
for:
this.onClipEvent(load) = function() {
_root.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
