can't get a simple gotoAndPlay to work...

Hi there.

I'm not familiar with AS3 at all.

I'm working on a simple 2 minute presentation.

For testing purposes, I have a layer named "label" that I am using to set a label called "test" (currently it's on frame 1445)

I'm trying to put an action in the timeline, frame 1, that will cause the play head to automatically jump to the "test" label so as I build the presentation and test it, I don't have to sit through the entire thing just to see if my latest animations are working as expected. I'd like to move this "test" label down the timeline as I continue to build new parts of the presentation.

So in frame 1, on my actions layer, I have:

gotoAndPlay("test");

Is this not the right code?

I would expect this code to jump the play-head to where ever I put that "test" label....

Instead, it either doesn't work at all, or it jumps to some other random spot around frame 160. NO other labels are being used in this presentation.

(I'm using the FlashEff component plugin for effects, in case that info is necessary)

Any advice would be great, since it's really time consuming to have to watch the entire presentation for each tweak I'm testing....

Thanks.
