Re: FLASH: How to Go To/Stop on a labeled frame in Flash 5

[Helen Triolo]

Hi Julie -- yes, it can be done:


Click on the frame where you want the label (assuming you've already

made it a keyframe) and hit Ctrl-F to open the frame panel.  Type the

frame name into the Label box (eg, newFrame).  Then put this action on

the button:


on (release) {

  gotoAndStop("newFrame");  // (or gotoAndPlay)

}


(Maybe you left the quotes off the frame label?  If so, it will look for

the frame name in a variable named newFrame, which won't work)


Regards,

Helen
