I’m building a simple matching game (still really early on) and I’m running into an odd situation where I’m making a simple function call and getting not action what-so-ever. Not even an error.

Here’s the function

```auto

//correct answer
function correctAnswer(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    question++;
    trace ("jump to question frame");
    trace ("frame # "+((q_rand [question])+10));
    //trace ("answers_jump");
    //trace (((q_rand [question])+1)*10);
    trace ("question # "+question);
    //trace (question);
    
    if (question == 10) {
        gotoAndStop("score");
    }

    //answers.gotoAndStop(((q_rand [question])+1)*10);
    gotoAndStop((q_rand [question])+10);

    trace ("----end-q----");
}

```

and my listener

```auto

correctButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, correctAnswer);

```

This same chunk of code works fine in initiating the first question, when not in a function. Any idea why it’s going dull?
