ilk #flashobject = void???

[Marco Mind]

hi,

i check a flashobjects (_level0) ilk to make sure I can call a function 
on it (gotoandplay). But sometimes the if condition is true but the 
variable is void and I can't call the function on it. What can this be? 
The only thing I can think of is that I may have layed something over it 
so it would act like offscreen. Until now I have only noticed this in 
authoring mode and I can't reproduce it.

I think my code looks quite normal.

global gFlashBug

on exitFrame me

  if gFlashBug.ilk = #flashobject then
    gFlashBug.gotoandplay("timeout")
  end if
end


Any ideas?
