Using a button to play an animation then jump to another frame
I'm designing a navigation sytem in flash. On clicking a button on the timeline I want to play a short animation, then go to the relevant frame where I will load in the content. If the animation starts on frame 2 and ends on frame 10 with a stop action, what actionscript should I put on the button for say the contact page in order for it to gotoAndPlay (2) then gotoAndStop("contact"),

The problem is I have more than one page. I have a page for contact, a page for about us etc. When each one's button is pressed I need the timeline to play the animation between 2 and 10, THEN go to "contact" which is on frame 30, or "about us" which is frame 40 etc. I wondered if there was an actionscript instruction that allowed you to do one action and on completion do another all on button - does that make sense?

That brilliant - thanks very much.
glad i could help.
----------------
on(release)
{
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
Frame 10 action:
-------------------
on keyframe number 10 write this action:
gotoAndStop("contact");
when your animation is ended on frame 10, you are moved to your desired frame i.e. with contact label.
