Im trying to figure out how to change a frame when you click on a button, but when you release, it goes back to the original page. I am sure this is fairly simple, but i can’t get it going!!!

I think you can do something like this:[AS]on (press){  
gotoAndStop(3);  
}  
on (release){  
gotoAndStop(2);  
}[/AS]

your ‘button’ is probably not present in the first frame you wish to go, which means once the on(press) is activated, the function on(release) will no longer be activated…

There might be another way to do it with a HitTest…
