here it is:
At the first frame of the movie, I have the action “stop”, so the movie will not go on, and stay in the first frame. Inside this frame, there is a movieclip, and inside this movieclip, I have a button.
When I click at the button, I want the main movie to go on and skip to frame 2. I’ve tried this actionscript inside the button:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop (“Scene 1”, 2);
}
“Scene 1” is how my main scene is called. Nothing happens when I click at the button… can anyone help me?
Thank you,
Bruno Feu

Hi, I had a BIG pb trying to go to a scene from within a movieclip untill I found out that it is simply NOT POSSIBLE!
The onky workaround I came up with (and this works!) is to use a label in the goto.
But why bother with the scene anyway, all you want to do is go to the next frame, no?
So: \_root.play()!

actually, all you need to change is your gotoAndPlay. change it to this: gotoAndPlay(2); that’s all. you don’t need to specify the scene if it’s in the same one.
