AS not executing...

[whet15]

for some reason i have a section of actionscript with only part of it actually doing something.

Heres the code;

abc.play();
abc.walking = 1;
abc2.walking = 1;
play ();

but only the last line is actually working. if i delete this line it works fine. please help (-:
im usin flash 5.

is this code in a frame or a symbol? if it's in a symbol you'll have to use _root.abc.play() etc.

its a function that is declared on frame 1 of a movie clip. but if delete the last line then the rest works so thats not it.
