I'm trying to use gotoAndStop inside a movieclip and it won't work it keeps coming up with an error
the player movieclip is named _player, it's on the root.
the error is:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label walk not found in scene walk.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at Main/enterFrameHandler()
it's on the actionscript file. someone please help, thanks
here's a link to the AS3 and Adobe Animate file so you can have a look at what's wrong
Do you have a frame labeled "walk" in the walk scene?

There is no walk scene there's a movie clip named _player on the root,with a frame labelled 'walk' inside

I don't have Animate; how are you calling gotoAndStop(), and from where?

I'm calling it from a actionscript file in te same folder as the. Fla
It lets me change the xscale with _player.scalex
But it doesn't seem to like _player.gotoAndStop("walk);

I think you might have to do
MovieClip(_root)._player.gotoAndStop("walk")

What output do you get when you try tracing _player?

Er, what happens when you try running
trace(MovieClip(_root)._player) trace(stage.getChildIndex(MovieClip(_root)._player)
before the gotoAndStop()?
That said, can you post a few screenshots of:
As well as pasting any actionscript code you have just before the error occurs (i.e. the gotoandstop code, and anything else you think may be relevant)? That might provide a lot more context to work with.

Ah, so it's visible to the document.
Try
MovieClip(_player).gotoAndStop("walk")

Okay, I feel like this is a really basic question that should've been asked before, but do you have a frame labelled "walk" in player? Can you show a screenshot? (Select the frame and show the properties panel or wherever it is you set the frame label)

So what happens when you try _player.gotoAndStop(2) instead? Does it go to that frame?
If it does, try renaming the "walk" frame to something else, maybe player_walk. There might be a conflict in the name and scene which might cause the error.

I've noticed that the program recognizes that the object is called 'Player' not _player (even though that's what I labelled the movieclip as)
I tried Player.gotoAndStop("walk"); and

The "linkage" is not the same thing as the variable name. The linkage is actually the Class name - so your class would be called Player, but the instance name of the Player object should be "_player".
Okay, given this I think I have enough info to say what's happening. I know this could've been resolved much quicker if I had Animate, but can you show a screenshot of the stage? (In the screenshot earlier it shows the Player MC, but not the stage itself. Is the player MC on the stage? What's the variable/instance name in the properties panel?)

Okay, given this I think I have enough info to say what's happening. I know this could've been resolved much quicker if I had Animate, but can you show a screenshot of the stage? (In the screenshot earlier it shows the Player MC, but not the stage itself. Is the player MC on the stage? What's the variable/instance name in the properties panel?)
That's not the main stage, or if it is, I don't see the player character anywhere. Can you click the arrow beside "player"?

Try
If it does, try renaming the "walk" frame to something else, maybe player_walk. There might be a conflict in the name and scene which might cause the error.

It is the main stage and the player is generated on the stage by code
