okay, i have a movie clip on the stage, it is a drum made of 2 frames, first has a stop action, and second has a drum noise.  
it has the instance name of: drums

i used the AS

on(keyPress “d”) {  
tellTarget(“drums”) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
}

when i play the movie, and press D, i get the error:

Target not found: Target=“drums” Base="\_level0.drums"

anyone know what i am doing wrong?
