Hey Everyone,

I know this is problably going to seem like a silly question, but I have to ask it.

I am creating a movie with three scenes and I want to know how I transition between scenes. Due I use the following:

onClipEvent(gotoAndPlay(scene 2,1)

If this is wrong could someone please advise me as to the correct method. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kelly

There’s a few ways to do, but let me ask you this first, how do you plan on switching scenes? Do you want it to switch when a button is pressed or do you want it to switch at a certain point in the movie?

Hey Elektron,

Actually, the three scenes should run consecutively - no buttons - one after the other. I want the effect to appear seamless so the three scenes appear to flow into one and other. I hope this answers your question.

thanks,

hmm…ok from what I understand, by default, if you don’t place any stops at the end of each timeline on each scene then it automatically plays the next scene.

But if you do use some AS, try

```auto
onClipEvent(gotoAndPlay("scene 2",1)

```

(with quotes)
