Hello, i am new to flash mx 2004, and am stuck on what seems should be straight-forward. I am trying to make a game using tiles, and have a class called buildmap, with the following function

public static function buildGame(map) {  
var mapWidth = map[0].length;  
var mapHeight = map.length;  
for (var i = 0; i\<mapHeight; ++i) {  
for (var j = 0; j\<mapWidth; ++j) {  
var name = “t\_”+i+"\_"+j;  
\_root.attachMovie(“tile”, name, i_100+j_2);  
\_root[name].gotoAndStop((map\*[j]+1));  
\_root[name].\_x = (j_30);  
\_root[name].\_y = (i_30);  
}  
}  
}

but when i test the movie the gotoAndStop() call does not work and it just plays all the frames in the attached movie.  
Any ideas?? :-/
