My Ship Movieclip

hey so i got my ship and everything is fine but i want to animate it
if you press space bare it goes to frame 2 but i cant get this to work
if its on frame 2 then i want it to go to frame 3

here is my code

if( Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && shootLimiter > 8)
{
shootLimiter = 0;
var missile = root.attachMovie(“Missile”,“Missile” + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
missile.x = x + 35;
missile.y = _y + 2;
missile.gotoAndPlay (2)
this.gotoAndPlay (2)
if (this = (2))
{
gotoAndPlay (3)
}

i dont know what is wrong

nvm i figured it out

Please share your solution with us(me), i cant figure it out with referencing to the own movieclip, and the contents.

I mean, the code, i can’t make my classes get movieClips inside of them.

its this link look at what it says

it gets movieclips

Sorry, not what i was looking for, I needed to access a MovieClip under the MovieClip being defined by my class.. like;

class Mudkip extends MovieClip {
function onEnterFrame() {
this.NestedMovieClip._width++;
}
}

Or something like that.. So I won’t need to use root.Mudkipmc.NestedMovieClip._width++; (surely works, not as effective though)
