Yeah, that's the next idea I had. Still doesn't work. Just for fun, I 

changed the


Go to and Play ("some frame label")


to


Go to and Stop ("some frame label")


This works perfectly. Of course, the frame of the MC in question is 

sort of a "still" as it just contains a static image (JPEG file) and the 

frame itself contains a Stop command. So I guess either I'm in the 

dark about the difference between Go to and Play for a single frame 

and Go to and Stop for a single frame.
