Frame jump problem

Hello,

I'm not new to Flash MX and I wouldn't have asked but this is taking
me a ridicolous amount of time to debug and I bet it's something
simple. I'm not sure what's happening here and why it doesn't work:

It won't just jump to any of those frames! I'm reading the variable
from a php file, however, for testing purposes I defined it
internally. I also trace it and it's good. But it won't just go and
play that frame. Each of those frame has a stop(); and a movieclip (a
simple image).

Any ideas? o.O

(Using Flash MX 2004 with Actionscript 2.0)

Thanks!!

show your updated code. (and place a trace(5) on your main timeline's frame 5, so you can see if the playhead is going to frame 5 and then moving before the stage is updated.)

explicitly state the timeline you want to direct:

this.gotoAndPlay(5);

if you want to control the default timeline. then use trace(this) to see what you're doing.

Thanks for your help. Did the changes, still not working. It's stuck at the first frame like it wouldn't recognize the variables. Tracing the variable and *this returns me:
