@Jacko it all depends on your movie clip
basically it tells movie clip to go to specific frame and start playing from it

For example if I have multiple animations

local mc = MovieClip.new({ --running {1, 5, t[1]}, {6, 10, t[2]}, {11, 15, t[3]}, {16, 20, t[4]}, {21, 25, t[5]}, {26, 30, t[6]}, {31, 35, t[7]}, {36, 40, t[8]}, --hit {101, 105, t[20]}, {106, 125, t[21]}, {126, 130, t[20]}, --punch {201, 205, t[9]}, {206, 210, t[12]}, {211, 215, t[13]}, {216, 230, t[14]}, --jump {401, 410, t[15]}, {411, 420, t[16]}, {421, 440, t[17]}, {441, 450, t[18]}, {451, 460, t[19]}, --lost {601, 610, t[20]}, {611, 620, t[21]}, {621, 630, t[22]}, })

I can then loop or chain them using go to actions:

self.mc:setGotoAction(40, 1) self.mc:setGotoAction(130, 1) self.mc:setGotoAction(230, 1) self.mc:setGotoAction(450, 1) self.mc:setGotoAction(720, 1)

And by default character will run:

mc:play()

But when I want character to punch, I just call:

mc:gotoAndPlay(201)
