One possibility, if you are using ‘Test scene’ to preview, then all buttons linked outside of that scene auromatically take you to the beggining of the present scene, use test movie - also sometimes with things like this as silly as it sounds, ensure your script is correct, save, exit and restart Flash and you may find it works… nothings perfect! Let me know how you get on.

Use frame labels to target your scenes:[AS]on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(“frameLabel”);
}[/AS]Don’t depend on Flash when you’re dealing with scenes. So place a Frame Label on the first frame of every scene (not the same one of course), and that should work.

yes i’m kinda using the ‘test scene’ to preview my movie… so if i’ll try to run the movie as it is, as a whole, it might work?!

The size should not affect it at all, as long as your script is correct. 😉

hi,
u must use differet button in diff scen not comman button to all scen…then it will work.suppose u used ‘btn1’ to scen1,2,3, it’ll goes to at the start of first scen.
in scen one\>on layer \> use btn1 - "here is your btn action"
in scen Two\>on layer \> use btn2 - “here is your btn action”
* * *
otherwise u may use directly script…as told by wizard and seihart…
