simple error. Flash2004

layer=Layer 31, frame=112:Line 2: Statement must appear within on handler
gotoAndPlay(1);

I am trying to simply have the video stop at the end, and have a button to reply it. I am using FlashMX2004 and I used to be able to do this with the orginal MX but for some reason I keep getting errors doing the basic things. can someone help me out.

That error means you are missing an event handler of some sort, try:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

what is a event handler.
For some reason when I use a stop action and the gotoAndPlay on the same frame (but different layer) it just runs through like I didnt set it.

one thing to remmeber about mx2004 is that it deosn't automatically add event handlers like mx did. It's default actionscript mode is "expert"

an event handler is just that...it tells flash to do something when an event happens such as the left mouse button being pressed, a key, or even every frame of the movie.

The reason your movie runs thru, is because ( I would imagine) it reads thru the code...stops because you told it to, then when it gets to the next bit its told to play...so it does...all this happens in a fraction of a second, thus giving you the impression that nothing at all happened:)

Hope that helps you get started, you should do the tutes taht come with flash, they are quite enlightening and can be found under the help.
