Beginners Unluck

Hello Everyone. I need Help. I made a movie with 2 different scenes & I want to link them together. However The way that I have it set up is I created a symbol in the first scene. I added buttons over various parts of this symbol and tried to link it with the script, “on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(“2”, 1);
}”
In my movie if I play it the menu comes up but when I put my mouse over the part to link it, the menu dissapears. With this script it links scene 1 and 2 fine. But not the symbol:run:
Any help you can give will be really apreciated.
Thanks,

Marc:asian:

Create frame labels in each scene and then have your buttons target the frame labels instead, it should work if you use something like this:

on (press){
	_root.gotoAndPlay("blah");
}

Or this:

on (press){
	gotoAndPlay("blah");
}

Depending on where you buttons are located, one of those 2 should work. =)

I can’t thank you enough man. It worked fine. It really saved me hours of looking online for the answer. Nice web page also. I love your 3D images. I am an avid user of lighwave, but your stuff kicks ***. Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick help last time but I was wondering. The button makes my homemade dropdown menu dissapear. I don’t even have the chance to click on the button. Does anyone know how to fix this? It is a minor problem after the last one but it is still troubling. Thank you very Much.

Is your dropdown menu in all the scenes? If you go to another scene and it’s not there then it will dissappear after you click the button.

The drop down menu is in all the scenes but I only did the editing in scene 1. I just copied and pasted the frame to the others. Would this have anything to do with it? Sometimes it also disapears before I can get my mouse over the buttons.
Thanks again,
Marc

I’m not sure how your setup is, but maybe using scenes could be the problem. :-\
