At first, I thought I was rusty, but I’m beginning to get paranoid because even the simplest AS is not working. I’d like to think that I am RUSTY and all that but why is this happening? Is there any new thing in flash that I need to know? Obsolete AS? Now I’m really really frustrated and confused on how to make even the basic of basics work.

```php
stop();
btn_about.onRelease = function() {
	gotoAndStop("about");
};

```

I have to replace the NAME LABEL (about) to the actual framerate?

```php
stop();
btn_about.onRelease = function() {
	gotoAndStop(101);
};

```
