Trying to trigger a function from the end of a MC.

I have a movie clip plays a sound at the end of the timeline. So far, so good. I also want to trigger a function in the parent of the animation, using "this.parent.stars();" but the function isn't getting called. Clearly I am doing something wrong. What's the issue?

Hi.

Plase make sure that stars is a method that belongs to the parent timeline and not a function.

Meaning that this...

function stars() // wrong
{
    console.log("not gonna be called");
}

... is different from this:

this.stars = function() // correct
{
    console.log("this is gonna be called");
};

So double check if your case is similar to the second example.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

JC

You're welcome!

And don't worry because this difference is not obvious at all!
