}[/AS]

Actually, I’d suggest not calling a scene but rather naming the frame you want the playhead to advance to via the properties inspector.

At build time, all “Scenes” get compressed into one long timeline, so Flash has no way of knowing where the “Scenes” are or were. They exist simply to help designers in the authoring process.

In fact, gotoAndPlay doesn’t even support scenes in AS2.0. That’s why it’s not working. Disregard anything you might read online or in the help file.

Just name your frame and then try:

myButton.onRelease = function() {
     _root.gotoAndPlay("someFrameName");
}

To navigate to the start of a scene, simply name the very first frame of the scene whatever you want to use to call that scene. But make quite sure you have unique names for any/all frames in a level.
