For some reason when i put  
on (release) {  
this.\_parent.gotoAndStop(7);  
}

Instead of going to the parent layer, where a frame 7 exists, it goes to the next frame in the current layer, it works in an earlier part of this project, but for some reason, even when i copy the one it works in, then make the tweaks for the right frame/layer, it still doesnt work. Can anyone help?
