Dear Adobe, I know you all might not use Macromedia Flash 8 anymore these days, but what I'm here and concerned for is that I am planing on uploading a SWF file to the internet. And when I have the "play" button inside the MovieClip, it won't head back to the main timeline. I have the main timeline named "MainMovie" and I want it to head back to the main timeline of the beginning when I click play inside the MovieClip. I want you guy's advice to what code I can use for it in Macromedia Flash 8. And I have screen shot below for a good example for you guys.

You know that all major browsers are completely dropping support for Flash player at the end of 2020, right?

I know. Even though it does, I still just wanna show my fans off my new style in work, and when it does retire, I can always re-render it to the HTML format from the FLA work file and update it later on. Since flash won't retire for another 5 months. Either way, I still need your opinion on how I can get the play button from inside the movie clip to head back to the main timeline when I click it. Like what code do I need for it in Flash 8.

So just gotoAndPlay wherever you want on the root timeline? You haven't mentioned whether you're using AS2 or AS3.

Or if your animation is non-interactive, just export as a video and post it to YouTube.
