I'm pretty sure that gotoandplay just advances the playhead and doesn't execute the script on that frame until your script finishes so the widgets it creates won't be ready right after the call.

I have exported MovieClips with timeline animation and textfield, etc. for AS in my library. After loading of the SWF is complete I get the Class like this: var MyClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("MyClass") as Class; Then I create a MovieClip instance an add it to stage, like this: var mc:MovieClip = new MyClass() as MovieClip; addChild(mc); this works great, but when I want to gotoAndPlay() to another frame an change the content of a Textfield there, then the Textfield is null and it takes some time (Timer or Enterframe script) to wait for the Textfield being not null. Can someone imagine why? Matthias
