root.nextframe not working

[AWebbDesigner]

Does anyone know why the code

on (release) {

          root.nextFrame(5);

}

would not work? It is on a button and for some reason it is not working on one frame?

Thanks for your help!

In AS2 it is "_root", and nextFrame() does not accept any arguments, it only does what it says, goes to the next frame in the timeline.  If you want to go to frame 5 and frame 5 is not the next frame, then you need to use gotoAndStop(5).

You are right! Something so simple that I accidently erase. Duh!

Thank you! again
