help with frame play()

[DRMRLPLS]

I have this script to control page transitions and Flash is doing some 

strange stuff.  The script goes to a page, gets its frame number and then 

issues a play to the following frame where the transition starts.  It works 

fine if I allow each transition to complete and stop on it's own at the next 

"page"n label, but if I hit the button during the transition the play head 

just stops on the (curFrame+1) frame but won't play.  That is why I added the 

first stop so the play action doesn't get confused or cancel itself out.


Here's the kicker:  I put the last line of code on a separate button and if I 

trigger it follwing this script it works fine every time.  Please help!!  

button script:

on (release){

       _level0.stop();

        _level0.gotoAndStop("page"+(_root.curPage));

        _root.curFrame = _level0._currentframe;

        _level0.gotoAndPlay((_root.curFrame)+1);

}

        on a separate button:

             _level0.gotoAndPlay((_root.curFrame)+1);
