Im trying to get my movie to go to frame 2 when this movie clip is rolled over.

the as i have so far is

on (rollOver) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
}

When i preview, i get the following error: **Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 3: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler  
gotoAndPlay(1);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Any ideas?

Shouldn’t the on(rollover) command be on a button, not a movie clip? :-\
