could be a preloader issue if you have one - but try moving the goto command to frame 2 - it may be
the movie is skipping it on frame 1.

You cannot successfully target a frame that has not yet loaded, and
flash movies load frames/content in sequence until the entire movie has
loaded. You didn't mention a "preloader" but you will need to check to be
certain that the target frame has loaded before targeting it. -Tom Unger
I know this might be hard to help me without seeing my source files. I am an
intermediate user of Flash and am very frustrated that I can get this to work.
When the swf loads I want it to immediately jump to frame 93.
I have many layers. I created a new layer called actions, which is my top
layer. In frame 1 there is a blank keyframe in every layer. In the layer
called actions frame 1 I put the action script gotoAndStop(93); I thought this
should work, but it doesn't.
What happens is strange. It seems to play one specific layer. This layer
(like I mentioned) doesn't start until frame 2. As far as I can see there is
nothing different about this layer from the rest. It is in the middle of about
30 layers. All the other layers also start in frame 2 but none of those play.
If I change the action script in layer ?actions? frame ?1? to gotoAndPlay(93);
instead of gotoAndStop(93); it plays the entire movie from frame 1 on.
Why are these action scripts not jumping to frame 93??
Thanks for any help, Hope all that makes sense.
