gotoAndPlay() does not work

Question

I am not sure why this is not working.Setup:one button on main stage -  instance name is nativeAmericanBtnone movieclip on main stage - instance name is instructions frame 0 has no label and has action this.stop();frame1 has label "start"timeline  at 5 seconds has a 1 sec transition opacity from 100 to 0  I guess I could have use fadeout in code instead or even a timeout function but playing a timeline seemed easy enough. Apparently no since it does not work.When I use like 13 it works. when I use line 12 it does not work. So the scope is correct. Why then is it not playing the instruction timeline?Everything else in that function is working.var nativeSym = new lib.nativeSymbol();this.nativeAmericanBtn.addEventListener("click", nativeAmericanInfo.bind(this));function nativeAmericanInfo(){    this.click = createjs.Sound.play("click", "none", 0, 0, 0, 0.5);    this.blank.addChild(nativeSym);    geronimoONOFF = 1;    nativeSym.geronimoBtn.geronimoHL.visible = false;    eastmanONOFF = 1;    nativeSym.eastmanBtn.eastmanHL.visible = false;    this.gotoAndPlay("pages");    this.instructions.gotoAndPlay("start"); // this does not work    //this.instructions.visible = false; // this works}

you can use jquery if you add a component or include it:it's hard to display a cached version using animate test, but it's possible.

I just tried a mini setup matching what you described, and it worked fine using this code in the main timeline:

this.bob.addEventListener("click", doBob.bind(this));

function doBob() {

this.instructions.gotoAndPlay("start");

}

In your code, before the this.instructions.gotoAndPlay line, put console.log(this.instructions);

If the instructions clip (not "timeline") is fully instantiated at this point, the console should display all its properties, including its current frame and the labels array. If not, something is wrong.
