Subject: RE: FLASH: Tell Target > Go to MC frame by label vs number

That doesn't work... as I said, Go To Expression doesn't work with Tell
Target (don't know why...)

Anyway, it has no sense to make an EVAL there, because "anim"&x... is not a
variable name to evaluate, is a String literal that determines the label to
go to, so EVAL is not necessary.
