Well then, if location looks like what you expect, then maybe that frame

of the mc (which doesn't have a name, so I guess it's the main timeline?

in which case couldn't you just use "/" as the target instead of that

long un-nest string?) hasn't loaded yet?  But you said you tried this

with the frame name (*exactly* the same thing as what's in the location

variable?) and it *did* work, so I guess that couldn't be it.  Kinda

stumped, I have to admit.  (Out of curiousity, couldn't you just use

linkname and leave location out of it all together?)
