Hi guys,

I'm trying something *very* simple, and I don't understand why it doesn't work as expected.

  • I create 4 empty frames.
  • I put this one single line of AS code on frame 1:
    gotoAndStop(3);
  • On the remaining 3 frames, I just put one text string each that simply identifies the frame (like "This is frame 2").


Shouldn't the movie just jump to frame #3 and stop? I.e., the only thing you see is the text on frame #3?

When I play it in the web browser (flash player V6), (Crtl-SpaceBar), the movie first runs to the end, showing all frames, then stops at frame #2.

When I play it in the stand-alone Flash players V5 and V6 , it only displays frame #2. When I play it in the stand-alone Flash player V4, I only get an empty frame (but shouldn't gotoAndStop work in V4 also?).

I'm kind of having trouble understanding this behavior

Anybody out there who can shed some light?

I'm using the latest 3.60 beta, btw.
