I am creating a slide flash document. I place buttons on the parent screen to
naviagte the child screens. i want to use the go to screen, and not simply
next slide previous slide. The buttons I am creating to navigate are simply
text converted to a button. It seems very random, but often times when I do
this, it generates a message like this when I test my .swf file:

**Error** Screen=slide50, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 5: ')' expected
if((_root.presentation.slide50.50infoslide != undefined) &&
(_root.presentation.slide50.50infoslide != null))

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Any idea how to fix this? It seems like when I create a graphic and convert
it to a button, I am not getting this issue, but with the text converted to
button, I am. Also, if it doesnt happen when I first create the button, I can
get it to happen very often if I rename the slide and then update the button
behaviour to point tothe new slide name. This seems to break my flash file
easily. any ideas? I can make the .fla files available if anyone thinks that
would help.

OK, playing around right now, it appears that maybe it was when I was changing
the name of the slide and then updating the button behaviour. It looks like
when I don't save the file then test my .swf it gives me errors. If i save it
first, then test the swf, it appears to work. Any ides on that if that is a
known problem or a perhaps a planned property of the program?
