Movieclip event.COMPLETE

Is this the correct behavior? if I have a event.COMPLETE on the movie clicp, and then gotoandstop should this fire the complete? or only if I set it to the last frame?

From documentation:
When a MovieClip object finishes it playing (by reaching its final frame or a frame with stop action), it dispatches an Event.COMPLETE event.

So yes when it finishes as in reaching last frame.
Or you can set stop action using MovieClip:setStopAction(frame) method to launch this event on sub animation

As none of us know the internal of gideros
test code is you best friend

gotoAndStop will not fire the event

local mc = MovieClip.new{{1, 10, stage}}
mc:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function() print('complete') end)
mc:gotoAndStop(2)

yes you are correct, I eventually went with gotoandplay(lastframe) this works as I need, so Brilliant
