-->> Simple goTo help Please <<--

[Geno Gruber]

I need to make a MC with an input text box (var=gotoframe) allow the user to go to any desired frame of the main time line, after entering the frame number of choice in the input box, and then clicking a "go" btn. Here is the script of the button:

on (release) {
tellTarget ("/") {
gotoAndStop (gotoframe);
}
}

Is there a bug? Additional info:
This is a multipul scene movie. This control only needs to control the current scene. Help would be very welcomed!

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(_root.gotoframe);}
this will do it (attention: if you are in scene 2 and scene 1 has , for example, 100 frames, then frame 7 of scene 2 is actually frame 107 for Flash So you need to add 100 to the variable, like this: on (release) {_root.gotoAndStop(Number(_root.gotoframe)+100);}

Thanks for the reply. I am still not having any luck. I have a frame counter visible and stop and play buttons. Everything else works. I just can't get the "go" button to cause any reaction. Do you have anymore thoughts?
