If an If frame is Loaded is not true then you don't have a choice the

movie continues to process the rest of the current frame and goes to the

next frame.

You can do what ever you want in the next frame. If Frame is Loaded

(Wait-For-Frame) is a one time check. If you want it to continually

check you have to create the loop.

Boredom.

The frame 'go to' boxes accept numbers from 1-16000 but we have been

told the actually frame number limit is 65536. Of course there is no

time limit.

If you are using Flash 3 you can make the main timeline smaller by

putting animations in Movie Clips.
