Ok i am trying to do 2 very simple things…

i just want to jump to frame 2 of this movie called **solotab** just when the movie first runs…

Then i want the clickable tabs to enlarge - move to the edge and replace each other and for this there are the variables current and currenttab to store the respective instances to be targetted.

I don’t know why it doesn’t work as the target path is correct and the variable is correct - the trace action shows this…

with your help i could become cleverer…the file is on this thread - [http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=217591](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=217591)
