in my game when my character dies it goes to a death screen i built and i have a button that i want to use to go back to the main start screenbut when i click the button it just restartsthe entire movie all over again from my logo and intro animation and that isnt what i want. for my button code i use  
on(release){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(1516)  
}  
i have messed with that # and i have gotten it to drop me off at my intro animation but i cant get it to my select scree. a little help please?  
i cant attach any thing because it is too large but if you want to see it to help me email me at [shadowsquall111@sbcglobal.net](mailto:shadowsquall111@sbcglobal.net)
