I want to get a movie clip to go to and stop on a frame label. I've named the instance of the movie clip "events". Inside the movie clip I have set up 10 frames labeled event1 - event10.

I've set up the buttons on the main timeline to control the movie clip, by setting a variable called "selection" and then assigning it a value between 1-10 depending on which button has been rolled over.

After setting the value of "selection", the button uses a call action to a frame where I have set up a sub-routine of actions.

I know the variable is getting successfully passed to the call frame, because all of the actions on the subroutine use the variable, and the majority of them work. One, however, does not...

I want to tell the movie clip "events" to go to and stop on a frame label in the "events" movie clip by stating:

Begin Tell Target ("/events")
Go to and Stop ("event"&selection)
End Tell Target

In theory, I thought this would tell the movie clip to go to and stop on the label marked event1, event2, or whatever the variable "selection" was equal to, but it's not working.

What exactly am I doing wrong here?


Thanks in advance.
