Ack! I have a problem where I have a 2 movie clips in scene 1, and theres a lot of action in both of these movie clips. but in the end of one movie clip i have a button that I want to act as a jumper. to go from the first movie clip to the 2nd one, but it never works. The first movie clip is at frame 32, and i use the ‘stop’ actionscript to pause the scene and see the clip. The 2nd clip is at frame 62, again is also 'stop’ped to view the clip. The button in the first movie clip keeps going back to the beginning of the first movie clip, I don’t want that. i want it to get out of the movie clip scene and go into scene 1 and then goto frame 62. the actions for that fugged up button are as follows: on (release) { gotoAndPlay(“Scene 1”, 62); } is that right? :q: someone help me quick! thanks :love: ---

give your 2nd mc an instance name and then try this: ```php on (release) { _root.instance.gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 62); } ``` change “instance” to whatever you named it. =) ---

ok if u open the library there is this MC called MP3 Player, open that MC and near the end you’ll see words move across called “flashtrak”. Thats actually the button, that keeps fugging me over. Now i want it so that when that button is clicked, the play head will skip out of the MP3 PLayer MC and go back to scene 1 and then go to frame 62. Frame 62 has Another MC called Flashtrakplayer. yeah… ---
