gotoAndStop is failing on me

alright, i have a problem:
i’ve got a function (that works perfectly otherwise) that says


gotoAndStop ("World", 1);

after the if statement (in the function) is called.
It won’t go to the frame. I’ve checked the scene name and all that. I even tried having it change a var to true, and when the var == true, goto the scene.

Help?

Thanks,
P-Tilty
