I am trying to stop a nested video clip. When i put the path to the clip
separated by . and then stop nothing happens. This is kinda driving me nuts. I
can stop the entire character I created but not his legs. Any help would be
most appreciated. I am using the syntax...path.stop();

Cheers

i'm a little confused - you mention "video clip" so I assume you have imported video format? FLV?
But then you mention a character - sounds to me like you have a movie clip within a movie clip? it
may be easier if you use graphic symbols if you are trying to sync/control timeline based animations
with nested animations.

basically i made a stick man. His legs are a movie clip (sorry, not video)
nested inside another movie clip of the entire character. I then wanted a
shadow to show up so I skewed the symbol of the character, put a shadow on the
skew and hit the object so only the shadow would show up and the original
character. I can stop the legs from moving in the file that just has the
character and the legs but when i nested the legs inside the character inside
the second character (shadow) i can no longer stop the legs from moving when
the character moves. (does this make sense?)
