How to make movieclip stay in frame?

Question

I'm using HTML5 Canvas.This is frame 1 of the main timeline and there is one movieclip.this.myMovieclip.gotoAndStop(24);this.gotoAndStop(2);/*Do some stuff here...*/this.gotoAndStop(1);Now that I am back at frame 1 of the main timeline the movieclip is no longer at frame 24 and it starts playing from 0. I'm pretty sure that this didn't happen in as3...Thanks for helping.

Why don't you just put this.gotoAndStop(24); in the first frame of myMovieclip itself?Well anyway, there's a fair bit of discussion in this thread on the subject of accessing uninitialized movie clips:Re: Accessing movieClip.children array Animate CC Canvas

I think I know what the problem is. If you look ate the js file exported (projectname.js) it looks like the movieclip is assigned after the main timeline function.

Because if I immediately do this.myMovieclip.gotoAndStop(24) it won't work. But if i do:

setTimeout(function () {

this.myMovieclip.gotoAndStop(24);

}, 5000);

it stops. Still don't know how to stop it immediately and avoid it starting from 0, though.
