If I remember correctly, in AS2, you need to write a complete function
signature including the scope.
Try including the scope on the functions that stopped working when you added
:Void
*public* function fName():Void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
You can choose between internal, private, protected or public. Until you
understand their purpose more, use public.
