SWF is IGNORING stop(); COMMANDS in the MAIN TIMELINE!!!
I have an application (that is of course due today) that has a problem
ignoring stop(); commands farther down in the timeline.
Seems to be a compiler error as the problem was occurring sometimes when
generating a test SWF. It would behave more like a slide show than an
application. To remedy the problem I was able to do various combinations of
"save as", "save and compact" or re-typing part of an Actionscript and then
saving...
However, now every time I generate a SWF, it repeats the same error of
ignoring all stop() commands past a certain point in the timeline.
These script do also contain various functions that manipulate various
movieClips onstage, and all was working just fine a few versions ago.
I have tried the following to try and remedy the error:
moved the stop(); command to a different layer in its own keyframe.
tried this.stop(); to point to the main timeline.
tried moving the stop(); to the beginning or end of actionscript in the
keyframe.
Has anyone else ever had this problem and found a solution?
TIA,

//sample of what I have in the suspect keyframes on the top layer of the main
timeline:
//this.stop(); //- had it here originally, with only intermittent errors that
would resolve after save as on the file
_global.prevLabel = "myPrevLabel";
_global.nextLabel = "myNextLabel";
//init user data as object prop
_global.userData.answers.weight = 0;
/*this.weight_mc.continue_btn_mc.onRelease = function() {
// store Weight
_global.userData.answers.weight = this.weight_mc.pet_weight.data
trace("this.weight_mc.pet_weight.data="+this.weight_mc.user_weight.data);
_global.aDirection = "Continue"
play();
}*/
this.weight_mc.back_btn_mc.onRelease = function() {
_global.aDirection = "Back"
play();
}
this.stop(); //HAVE TRIED IT HERE TOO...
