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

Thanks for your help Helen/Neo...

I tried calling the label name before but I got the following error message:

Line 2: gotoAndStop ("menu1"); [The frame number must be in the range 1 to
16000.]

I actually ignored the error message and tested it out. It seems to work but
why the error message?? Is this a bug?

hi julie,

select the frame you wish to label,
press ctrl + f (frame options)
enter a label in the 'label' field.

now to go to that label just use the
label itself instead of a frame number.

gotoAndPlay( "somelabel" );

instead of

gotoAndPlay( 5 );

I usually put all my labels on the top most layer ( called eerily 'labels' )
*g*

which makes things easier when trying to find them.

This seems super basic but I can't figure out how to use the label of a
frame instead of the frame number in Flash 5. I have a button that when
clicked (OnRelease) needs to advace to a certain frame, however the frame
number keeps changing as I add to and modify my web site. I want to
reference the frame using its label instead of the frame number. Can this be
done? If so, how? Thanks!!
