if asdfasdf doesn't exist until frame 2, you can't use code referencing it in frame 1.

either move the code or move the object or you'll need to use code to check if frame 2 has played and then execute the code referencing asdfasdf

p.s. an object can exist in frame 1 and not be visible until frame 2 is played
