Yes, the movie clip has its own timeline. It's AS3. I thought the movie clip is a symbol and I can just embed it as the livedocs show: "...symbol='movieClipName')]". I guess since the MC is the first frame of the scene, and that's the only frame of the scene, gotoAndPlay(1) doesn't do anything because the MC's timeline is still at the end. So the issue now is changing the MC timeline.
