gotoAndPlay Question

[endline]

ok for some odd reason the movie clip I'm using as a button will not gotoandplay the frame label I want.

the code is as follows

on(release)
{
trace("did you get here")
_root.gotoandpl ay("firstquiz" )
}

in the trace window it get the did you get here but the nothing happens. it works as a button without the _root. I've done far more complicated things than this and this is just ridiculous, but it isn't working

Make sure you capitalize the right letters, and semicolons to end statements:

on(release)
{
trace("did you get here");
_root.gotoAndPl ay("firstquiz") ;
};

That should do it unless you have it typed this way in your script.
Also, you might want to move that _root:

on(release)
{
trace("did you get here");
gotoAndPlay("_r oot.firstquiz") ;
};

Hope it works :)
