Jumping to locations with Lingo
The Lingo navigation features can make a movie jump to other frames, to other movies, or to
Internet movies and web pages. You can also use Lingo to make a movie appear to pause by
looping in one frame or a group of frames.
For details about specifying the locations of frames, markers, and movies, see “Identifying frames
and movies” on page 406.
Jumping to a different frame
Lingo lets you jump to a different frame in the current movie or in another movie.

To jump to a specific frame in the current movie, use the
go
command, followed by an
identifier for the frame.
For example, the statement
go to "Begin Over"

go
command, followed by an identifier
for the movie.
For example, the statement
go to movie "Citizen_Kane"
goes to the beginning of the
movie Citizen_Kane.dir.
•
To jump to a frame in a different movie, use the
go
command, followed by an identifier for the
frame and the movie; use
frame

movie
