Gotoandplay() - what did I miss?

1

I have a simple game. I’ve created a collision animation, which starts at ‘twitch’. Otherwise I want the mc to stop at frame 1.
But the gotoandplay is gotoandstop-ping. It’s just stopping on the specified frame and not playing through the frames to complete the animation.

What am I missing? I’ve tried adding stop() and play() inside the movieclip - no change. I’ve tried using the frame number instead of the label - nothing.

Here’s the snippet:

//Kitty collision detection
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, kittyCollision);
function kittyCollision(evt:Event)
{
if (kitty1_mc.hitTestPoint(mouseX, mouseY, true))
{
kitty1_mc.gotoAndPlay(‘twitch’);
trace ("currentFrame = " + kitty1_mc.currentFrame);
}
else
{
kitty1_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
trace ("currentFrame = " + kitty1_mc.currentFrame);
}
}

Please feel free to ridicule me for missing the obvious.

Thanks,
Elaine
