Ok i have a few questions to ask.
1. Is there a way to make it so that when someone clicks a button that is goes to a certian frame and plays from there?
2. How do i make a scroll bar in a box?
If you don’t get what i am asking please just post and i will try to explain better

1. Select your button and open the Actions Panel (F9), copy & paste this:[AS]on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(frame#);
}[/AS]Pretty self-explanatory, just change frame#.
2. You can use the Scrollbar Component (Components Panel).
Create a **Dynamic** , **Multiline** text box and then click and drag the Scrollbar from the Components panel into the text box.

Select the _Render Text as HTML_ button, it looks like this **\< \>** in the Properties panel. Then just type in the URL beneath that.

Hate to keep bugging you but the frame thing doesn’t work. I makes it clickable but when i click it nothing happens. I have the frame number right. I put a key frame at the frame. Do i need one on every layer?

No, you don’t need one on every layer.
I don’t know why it wouldn’t be working… if you’d like, you can either post your file here, or you could email it to me so I can take a look at it (forum.wizard[at][gmail.com](http://gmail.com)). Save it for Flash MX.
Also, is your button inside of a Movie Clip?

I will email or post it later, but does it have to be in a movie clip?

No, I was just asking if it _was_ inside of a clip, you would have to change the ActionScript to:[AS]on (release) {
\*\*\_root.\*\*gotoAndPlay(Frame#);
}[/AS]

No, the stop action should not have affected it because you’re using gotoAndPlay which should just ignore the stop(); .

You have a button within a button it looks like. :h:
Well, okay it doesn’t matter… I think I fixed it.
This is the script that I gave the button inside the other button:[AS]on (release) {
\_root.gotoAndPlay(60);
}[/AS]I used root since it was inside of another symbol and needed to go back to the main timeline.
Also, your script said _gotoAndPlay(frame60)_ and I think this is my fault for assuming that you would’ve understood me & my previous posts. Sorry.
Well, let me know if this is what you needed. 😉

i found your problem, its not
```auto
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(frame60);
}
```
its
```auto
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(60);
}
```
you just need to put the frame #, not frame#
