Thanks Helen,

I do Believe that did the trick!

_root.gallery.gotoAndStop(_root.framechange); was the solution!

Samir,

On second look, I see what the problem is (or might be) and it's a
familiar one. framechange is a variable on the main timeline, but your
tellTarget thinks it's in the gallery movieclip. If this is to be
exported as F4, change your statement to

tellTarget ("gallery") {
gotoAndStop (/:framechange);

or, if you don't need to export to F4, then no tell target needed:

_root.gallery.gotoAndStop(_root.framechange);

(And if neither of those works, then put a statement like this

trace("xchange=" + xchange + " framechange=" + framechange);

before the tellTarget to make sure the vars are what you think they are.
(And make sure the mc instance name is gallery and that the frame
pointed to by var framechange is already loaded when you do the command,
etc etc)
