How do you refer to an object when putting it in a "gotoAndStop" script?

Help
#1

In my project, I have an object called “funny”. When I type “funny.gotoAndStop(2);” it says “funny is not defined”. i suspect it might have to do with me using 1.19 for the project. Please help!

Thanks, MakerMan

(Edit: I think I figured it out, will this not work if the object I’m referring to is on a different frame?)

Hey!
Can you send the file to see what’s wrong?

#3 
  Objectname.gotoAndStop(Frame number)
#4

This description is not sufficient to help you. Could you send the file so we could take a look?

#5

Sorry, the file is too large to share. I tried making an example, but it worked there. It might be because the object I’m referring to is on a different frame, but idk.

#6

your edit is correct, i think. “funny” must be in the current frame when you refer to it.

Ok, thanks!
