Hello everyone.

I am having a problem with this file above^. I have one singular button on the stage, all animated in a separate movie clip, it works ok. But when i inserted the onRelease script into the actions panel on the button it didnt work.

I wanted it to gotoAndPlay frame 2 on the \_root stage; i tried it on another file and it worked ok, just not this one…

Could someone help me please ?
