Be sure to use double quotes around label name in goto.

Define the label with #.

Comments:


The search for labels always begins at the top of the script so that if there are multiple occurrences of a label the first occurrence will always be the one found. Labels are not case sensitive, and for the avoidance of doubt later versions of Flashpoint do not require that loops using a goto contain a delay. Deciding whether to use a script with a loop or a trigger or an @ statement is a complicated one and should be subject to experimentation.
