Hi, Steve

I didn't analyze your whole script, but did notice the following problem:

In your "go to and play" actions you are referring to the variable as a
string literal each time, instead of as the value of the variable

example: Go to and Play ("MaxUp")

should be without the quotes around the MaxUp or the playhead will try to go
to a frame labelled MaxUp instead of to a frame labelled with the value of
the MaxUp variable.
