Add frame labels for navigation

When the viewer presses the Submit button, you want Flash to jump to either the error message or the confirmation message, depending on what is entered in the text field. Labeling a frame helps you easily reference it in ActionScript. This is helpful for sending the playhead to a specific frame.

Next, you'll add frame labels to help you navigate your Flash application.

1. Add a keyframe (Insert > Keyframe) to Frame 5 of the Actions layer.
2. In the Property inspector, type error in the Frame Label text box. Press Enter or Return.

   The label text and a flag appear in Frame 5 of the Timeline.

   

3. Add a keyframe to Frame 10 of the Actions layer. In the Property inspector, type confirm in the Frame Label text box. Press Enter or Return.
