so i’ve got this banner that cycles through 12 different logo graphics.
at the beginning of each logo there is a frame label.
on frame 1 of my movie i’ve got a code to generate a random number and send the playhead to that frame label.
It works on 1-9, but for logos 10-12 it just stays on frame 1. It’s the weirdest thing, i’ve been pulling my hair out over it. Which is why i’m posting 
Here’s a link to check out the fla. http://drop.io/playheadbug
I’m absolutely at a loss for a fix right now.
thx.
You have two movieclips called ‘mc9’ - the Weymouth one (on the frame labelled ‘logo10’) and the one before that (on the frame labelled ‘logo9’).
Could that be messing things up somehow?
good catch, but yes it is still screwing up. 
I don’t have CS3 so can’t view the fla, but it sounds like your random code is only generating single-digit numbers, or else it’s not concatenating them properly to form the labels. Is it AS1 or AS2? If so, post the code or upload an F8 version.
here’s a link to a flash 8 version (as2)

thx
First thing I tried was to input the target frame directly by substituting gotoAndStop(gotoLabel) and replacing it with gotoAndStop(xxx);…and it didn’t work. In fact, it wouldn’t go past frame 450 regardless of what frame number I inserted.
But if I delete your logo layer, it works!
The problem does seem to be connected to just a few of your MC’s. For example, if you put the fox_meadows MC into frame logo8, it fails again. But put cumberland into the same frame and it works. I’ve tried rebuilding the entire thing but I’m still getting the same problem which makes me think that some elements of your library have become corrupted!
On a side note, the thunder hill MC contains the firestone image.
ya corrupt library is all i came up with myself. Looks like a complete rebuild from scratch.
Thanks for checking it out.
No problem. Another thing that convinces me about the Library corruption is that, if I place a different MC onto logo12 (for example, the Sweetbriar logo), the playhead goes to the correct frame, but nothing is displayed even though I can see the jpg and MC in my own Library.
Shouldn’t take too long to rebuild though. Good luck.
just an update, i had to put everything into a movieclip then call a random frame label in that mc from the main timeline. Weirdest thing I’ve ever encountered with flash. I even re-built from scratch on another machine with totally new images, but still did the same thing. Works now is all that matters.
thx
