RE: FLASH: Flash: OT - Director -Opening another movie

[Rebecca Lovelace]

Are you getting this error on your hard drive?  I have seen this error on

CDROMs when all files are known to exist, and have never figured out why it

happens (I always chalk it up to a bad burn, dust on the CD, or some other

corruption problem).


Another question would be are you absolutely sure you are spelling the frame

name correctly when you access it?  There might be a space in the name that

you are missing.  I've had that mistake happen sometimes (in fact, I just

had it happen in flash with a misspelled instance name).  You are calling

"go to frame FRAMENAME of movie MOVIENAME", right?

Thanks Rebecca.


The problem is very strange now. I do not think it has

anything to do with the file extension. I want to be able to

go to a particular frame in movie2 from movie1 & vice versa.

It works fine with movie1.exe , where it successfully opens

movie2.exe But gives the fol error when I am trying to goto

movie1.exe from movie2.exe.


problem opening movie1

201

script error "frame not defined"


Lingo is the same in both the movies with the right movie

name & frame name.

Can you help here?
