How do I play movie clips automatically (with scene navigation)?

Question

Hello. I am brand new to Adobe Animate, though I've been using other Adobe software for 15+ years. I'm trying to create a basic motion comic where it opens a page, an action happens on the screen, then you click to go to the next page. Rinse and repeat for each page of the comic.

I got the basic scene navigation set up by following this tutorial. However, in that video, they play the movie clips on each page by hitting an individual play button that is separate from the "Next Page" button. How could I modify this setup so that the little black ball would move on its own rather than requiring the click on the play button? I'm hoping to make it so the only required interactivity would be clicking the "Next Page" button.

I'm guessing the "this.stop()" command they are using is what is preventing it from playing, but I can't wrap my head around how I would change it to do what I want. Any advice? Thanks!

just delete the stop()

You can remove the `this.stop()` command to let the animation play automatically. If you want the animation to finish before allowing the "Next Page" button to be clicked, you could add a stop command at the end of the animation instead.
