STOP WAITING 10 FUCKING MINUTES BETWEEN BUMPS YOU MORON.

stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playFunc);
function playFunc(e:Event){
	gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Not even going to bother to explain it. You're not patient enough to wait for help, so you'll never be patient enough to learn anything more advanced than that.

Don't bump your topic every ten minutes, this isn't MSN, have a little patience. The problem here is the gotoandstop function.

sorry about the impatient part it's just that i have been stuck for days on this (im only 14 & beginner)

To explain, the addEventListener function takes 2 parameters, the first being what type of event, and the secont what function to call.

A few things to know, when passing a function as a parameter, simply pass the function name without parenthesis at the end, and also the function being called needs to receive a single parameter of the event type, as that is the entire reason the function is called. This received event contains information about how it was triggered.

You can read more in various tutorials around the internet, or in the official livedocs.
