hello all

I have a script for a game. It's a board game, and it has a flash game
board with movie clips for the game pieces.
I use movie clips because it is very easy to move them back and forth
using tell target according to their most recent promotion/demotion. Anyway, 
everytime a player visits the frame that has the game board on
it, the pieces need to be on their correct spaces.
I wrote a script that does this, but I would like it to work on PREPARE
FRAME.  Currently it only works on "enterframe".  So for a very split
second you see the pieces scrambling around to get in their correct spots.

Why does this script only work on enterframe and not on prepare frame?
The error I get is that the "_root.marker"&q is an invalid parameter. But it 
works using the on enterframe handler.
---------------------------------
on enterframe me
  global gturn-- the turn of the current player
  global gspot-- a list containing the positions of the player pieces

  repeat with i=1 to (gspot.count)--the # of players on the board

    q=string(i)

    m= gspot.getat(i)--where each piece needs to be, respectively


    sprite(2).telltarget("_root.marker"&q)
    sprite(2).gotoframe(m)
  end repeat

end

on exitframe me
  go to the frame
end
