Error please please help

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Actions, frame=6:Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
stop();


What does this mean? How can I fix it. The only thing I see in the actions frame is stop();

You have probably by mistake put stop action on a movieclip ( like a stop ), which you can not do.

you may have assigned action to a button or movie clip which requires handlers. If you want to stop your movie itself then you shud assign stop() action to a frame.
Select the button you have made on stage then open action panel and delet the action from it. Now select the frame on timeline on which you want to assign stop action and type stop(); there.
Now that error will not come.
