Hi there,

I’ve been following a flash tutorial, It’s a complicated piece. You’ll have to look at it to see for yourselves.  
My main problem is that I would like to try to add buttons to the scrolling ‘menu’ movie clips, that would enable me to go to a new scene. I’ve tried the ‘\_parent.gotoAndPlay(2)’ etc, but due to my very basic knowledge of action-scripting I can’t get it to work.

Anyone have any suggestions, or wanna try?

Thanks.

the \_parent.gotoAndPlay(2); tells Flash to go to frame two not scene two. You need to label the first frames of each scene, and use that script with the label in quotes.

sorry I didn’t reply Max,

I re-posted at the actionscript forum, and forgot about this one.

Thanks for the help, thats exactly what i wanted and it works a treat.

Cheers,
