Oh I know what you’re doing wrong… there’s nothing in your file. 😛 ---

I just took a peek into your fla….looks like you are a lil confused with the usage of gotoAndPlay. the correct usage is [color=blue]gotoAndPlay([scene], frame)[/color] eg : [color=green]gotoAndPlay(“scenename”,1)[/color] or [color=green]gotoAndPlay(“scenename”,”framelabelname”)[/color] however if you want to got to and play a frame in the same scene then the [color=blue]scene name is optional[/color] but frame no or framelabel is a must… eg : [color=green]gotoAndPlay(1)[/color] or [color=darkgreen]gotoAndPlay(”framelabelname”)[/color] What you have got on your button at the moment is [color=teal]on(release){[/color] [color=teal]gotoAndPlay(“home”);[/color] [color=teal]}[/color] So what’s happening here is “home” is considered as a framelabel and not a scene name …that’s why you are getting all the errors… So on the buttons you should be writing [color=darkgreen][/color] [color=darkgreen]on(release){[/color] [color=darkgreen]gotoAndPlay(“home”,1);[/color] [color=darkgreen]}[/color] Do the same with all the buttons code…this will fix up your bugs… [color=blue]P.S:[/color] some suggestions: 1.the transition thing can be a movieclip symbol instead of a graphic symbol… 2.get rid of scenes instead use framelabels…use scenes only when 2 scenes are very much different visually(…the artwork…look and feel… etc) 3.HAPPY BUG FIXING!!!🐇 ---

You select the frame you wish to add a (Frame) Label to. In your Properties Panel you should see: **\**. Type your Frame Label in there… now, to target it:[AS]gotoAndPlay(“FrameLabel”);[/AS]Instead of using a frame number or scene name, you simply use the label you gave a frame, hence the name Frame Label. 😃 ---
