Hi I’m sort of new to actionscripting.

I have an animated Menu that is inside a movie clip. I have the animation working fine. The problem, if when I try to add an actionscript to the button instance on the stage, it doesn’t go to another scene. I have tried getURL and it works fine. I didn’t use the default “Scene 1” name I renamed it and still didn’t work.

I used:  
on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(“home”,1);  
}
