FLASH: weird bug making browser crash.... (/)

[Ricardo Madrazo]

Hi,


I have a button within a movie clip that is in the main timeline.  Now, the

button's action is as follows:


On(Release)

	Begin Tell Target ("/")

		Go to and Play ("20")

	End Tell Target

End On


simple and straightforward, right?  Wrong.  Click on the button and the

browser crashes.  Both IE and Netscape.  Now, change the code to


On(Release)

	Begin Tell Target ("../")

		Go to and Play ("20")

	End Tell Target

End On


and it works just fine.  My understanding was that / and ../ both targeted

the Main Timeline, so there's no reason why this should crash... Am I

missing something here?
