I placed this:

```
 ActionScript Code:
 [FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000ff]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]righteye[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]eyeball[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]gotoAndPlay[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]"look1"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

```

[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

On the timeline, but it doesn’t play when the timeline passes that point. I made 100% sure that all the frame names and instance names are correct. I tried reaching the instance through \_root.etc aswell but it didn’t work either.

I then made a trace:

```
 ActionScript Code:
 [FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000ff]trace[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]this[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

```

[COLOR=#0000ff]trace[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

Which gave me \_level0.whole and Undefined. Which is odd Cause I used that crossair to determine that targetpath. So how could it be wrong?

I’m sure I’ve just made a stupid mistake somewhere but I cant figure it out :S.

Thanks!
