Ok, so basically my first scene “menu” has all my login & signup stuff there

Question 1: How do I change scenes with actionscript (I have stop()🙂 written on my main timeline to stop it from going to scene “game” straight away…

I basically need to do gotoScene(“game”) or gotoScene(2);

etc…

Question 2: How do I interact with variables on scene “menu” and scene “game”

IE, I change some text in scene “game” based on the username you entered in scene “menu” considering I store the username into a variable, how do I get that?

\_root.myVar?  
\_level0.myVar?  
\_level1.myVar?

im not quite sure

Thanks in advance
