Stop(); Action doesn't work in AS3?

[bingandham]

I'm a designer and usually work in AS2.

But I created a movie in as3 (to use the Bones function), and now my stop actions are not working.

What I usually do for my movies is break the movie down in parts on the Main timeline (Start/Content/End), place stops on each of these frames.

And within the Movieclips that play on these labels I put a call:

stop();

_root.gotoAndPlay("Content") etc...

Anyways any fixes for this in AS3?

I'm using CS4 if that matters.

The stop() command works as well in AS3 as it does in AS1/2.  What doesn't work is using AS2 terms like "_root".  In general, if a stop() command is not working it is because some other code is failing or otherwise overriding the stop().

Here's the error I get:

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Stop.

Stop is not stop... look for the one with the capital "S" and change it

Yeah still couldn't get it to do what I wanted it to do.

I just ended up switching my publish settings back to AS2 and it works.
