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)

I have the 2nd frame labelled as "walk" inside the player MC. Inside the player MC there's a stop(); called at the first frame

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 also tried MovieClip(Player).gotoAndStop("player_walk"); but it comes up with
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Player$ to flash.display.MovieClip.
at Main/enterFrameHandler()

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?)

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"?

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

Can you include whatever code you're using?
