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

[Helen Triolo]

Very strange.  Is there definitely a frame on the main timeline and in

the same scene (or in the movieclip you're in) labelled menu1?   What

does the rest of your code look like?  Maybe you could cut and paste a

bit of it here?  I can't think why it would do that -- I tested out the

code I sent previously and didn't get any error message and it looks

just the same...  


Regards,

Helen
