[F8] Problem with gotoAndPlay

When I use gotoAndPlay to tell one of my movieclips to go to frame 2 which I've labeled "turn" (as it's the animation of the movieclips turning around) it goes to frame 2 and stops as if I said gotoAndStop("turn"). I looked for any rogue stop commands but there aren't any. I've even added a play() command to frame 2 to make sure it plays in case I missed any stop statements but it doesn't make a difference.

Any ideas?

Is your gotoAndPlay the last command in the function? Sometimes if you continue to issue commands after a gotoAndPlay, it will interrupt the Play.

It's not, there's an if statement after it, but the it statement has to execute after the gotoAndPlay.

I'd suggest you comment out the if statement and see if your movieclip plays without stopping. If you isolate that if statement as the problem, maybe you can find someplace else to put it (like on frame 2 "turn" in the targeted moviecip?).

I commented out the if statement and the problem still occurs. I even tried stacking gotoAndPlay commands one after another as in:

code:

---

gotoAndPlay(2);

gotoAndPlay(3);

gotoAndPlay(4);

gotoAndPlay(5);

---

I've also tried gotoAndPlay(3); and it'll go to frame 3 and stop.
