I am new at actionscripting so please bear with me.  
I am trying to create a listbox that a user can choose a list of monthly updates and once a specific month is chosen, it will goto and stop at a frame label. My labels in the list box have the same name as my frame label. I am using the following code:

function foo (myVar) {  
gotoAndStop(myVar.getSelectedItem().label);  
}

the problems I am facing:  
when I enter the following code  
function foo (myVar) {  
gotoAndStop(myVar.getSelectedItem(december).label);  
}  
as december is the first item in the listbox, it goes to and stops at the december frame label but how do I connect the next label - january so that it will associate with the january frame label?

thanking you in advance
