Making a touch based platform game based in actionscript 3 using Gary Rosenzweig’s game as a basis, all was going well until today, I’ve been trying to swap out floor objects etc without changing much of the actionscript at all and I have the following error.
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label jump not found in scene jump.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at PlatformGame/moveCharacter()[C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\platformGame\PlatformGame.as:418]
at PlatformGame/moveEnemies()[C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\platformGame\PlatformGame.as:314]
at PlatformGame/gameLoop()[C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\platformGame\PlatformGame.as:303]
This also seems to cause problems with collision detection.
The code is as follows. (not i have not changed the scene or label names from the originals but it still shows the error).

The error is with the following line and is occurring because the referenced
MovieClipdoes not have a frame labelled “jump”:My guess is that you made a change to the
MovieClipwhich contains your character and, in doing so, removed the label which the code above references.
