    I take it that you are doing HTML5 Canvas. If you have a line like this:

    this.MovClip.stop();

    as the first thing in the first frame that MovClip exists, the script runs before MovClip has appeared. It would simpler to go into MovClip and put:

    this.stop();

    in its first frame. Or, put the this.MovClip.stop(); into the second frame that it exists in the main timeline.

    Thanks kglad , Colin Holgate.

    "the script runs before MovClip has appeared" if so it makes things more clear.

    try:

    createjs.Ticker.addEventListener('tick',f.bind(this));

    function f(){

    if(this.MovClip){

    this.MovClip.c.stop();  // or do whatever. eg if(this.MovClip.c){this.MovClip.c.stop();}

    createjs.Ticker.removeAllEventListeners('tick');

    }

    }

      you have a parent moveclip with instance name MovClip?  if so and it has a child with instance name c, try:

      this.MovClip.c.stop();

      if that fails because the code is on the first keyframe that contains MovClip, try

      createjs.Ticker.addEventListener('tick',f.bind(this));

      function f(){

      this.MovClip.c.stop();

      createjs.Ticker.removeAllEventListeners('tick');

      }

        Not exactly so

        main timeline-MovieClip with instanse name MovClip

        inside MovClip another parts of animation

        How can to stop MovClip inside animation

        I  expected that this.MovClip.stop();

        will stop timeline playing of MovClip inside animation

        what do you mean by, "inside MovClip another parts of animation"?

        either that animation is on MovClip's timeline or a nested movieclip/graphic on MovClip's timeline.  if it's a nested graphic, you can't control it with script.  if it's a nested movieclip, you need the path or some other way to access the nested object.
