I'm confused. It looks like you're placing everything through ActionScript, so it would seem you don't really have a timeline involved. If you do have a timeline involved that's not reflected in your code, have you tried gotoAndPlay(someFrame)? I don't see anything like that in your code.

I have a timeline with other assets in it. The assets were inserted using the codes that were available on the flash. However, I want this ActionScript to start on frame 81 and play. Do you know where I can add the gotoAndPlay(someFrame)
