Calling a movie clip

Simple task, its just not working.

I have a button on the Main scene that calls a movie clip that contains 4 images in a row. Its masked so that only the image called in the script will be centered, blacking the others out.
I have an actions layer, a label layer, and a main layer with the movieclip on it.
The movieclip is called MainPicsMC.

So the code on the button is just this.
on (release) {
MainPicsmc.gotoAndPlay(“Castner”);

*Casnter being the frame label i want it to go go
now the movie clip should just slide and then center on my friends picture, but nothing happens at all. Any ideas?

Does anything happen when the button is clicked?

It could be that the InstanceName or Frame Label weren’t placed in the Actions the exact way they appear on the frame and on the movie clip’s properties.

okay, first of all, you have some type of tweens in which the group of pictures slides? or do you have one picture per frame and call the particular frame you want?

anyhow, the first thing I see is that you are incorrectly calling that movie clip b/c you missed the capitalization on MainPicsmc

other than that you AS will make the movie clip go to it’s frame labeled “Castner”. If changing the capitalization doesn’t work, then you need to check your tweens. scrub the playhead over the frame and see what happens on the stage.

hope that helps you.
