simple and quick, quick and simple ......not!

i am telling _level0 to gotoAndStop("ontop") from _level1 like this:

tellTarget ("_root._level0") {
gotoAndStop ("ontop");
}

I have also tried

_level0.gotoAndStop("ontop")


but niether works, I am at a loss for words, almost clsoe to a mental break down but just can't think straight. You know when you are writing a letter but forget how to spell a simple word like who or why or it...? This is just like that.

If you help I will make you a god and worship the ground you walk on.

Is 'ontop' a frame label, or a scene name? If it's the name of a scene, it won't work -- you have to create a frame label and jump to that instead. And you'd use either:

Code:

---

_root.gotoAndStop("ontop");

---

or

Code:

---

_level0.gotoAndStop("ontop");

---

...which are basically the same thing.

thanks, but i just worked out why it wasn't working,

the file i was working on was a earlier version and when refreshing the browser window to update, it was only updating the current version not the earlier one.


Thanks again
