Stop(); function help...

very simple question here:

I want my movie to stop on the first frame, In actions I have

stop();

onLoad() {
stop();
}

fail on my part, thanks! :D

I still get that error….
with

onLoad() {

stop();

}

and

function onLoad() {

stop();

}

any other ideas?

I don’t know what error this is, could you copy/paste it?

Your original code should have worked. That probably means that you have code elsewhere that is causing the problem.

Statement must appear within on handler (description)
stop(); (source)

and the only other code I have so far is on a button in that frame

on(release) {

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

}

stop(); 

Make sure the actions panel says “Actions – Frame” or something similar, rather than “Actions – Button” or something.

Try:

on(release) {

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

};  //semicolon here

stop();

1. for the original problem, it was under the frame’s actions (SavageWolf)
2. when I try doing that, it just adds another error (UnknownGuardian

ok, now all I’m getting is an error in that button…
