For normal buttons I normally just use ‘go to’ and then have it go to a label

eg.

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(“r11”);  
}

With a dropdown menu the buttons are contained within a movie clip whereas normal buttons are directly on the main timeline so I’m wondering if I have to alter the code somewhat because right I’m using the same code and its not working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
