Jumping to scenes via variables

1

Any ideas on how to jump to a scene that is identified by a variable?

I’ve tried:
New_Scene = “Scene 3”
gotoAndPlay ([New_Scene],1);

and all iterations thereof… No luck.

Thanks for your help!

I’m not sure because I’ve never tried it, but why would you want to do that?

You ca jump to frames by vars idon’t know what s wrong with it?

The reason I want to be able to do this is so that I can move to a scene based upon the user’s input. I’ve attached a very simple example of what i would like to be able to do. The scenes are ordered 1 - 3 - 2; the button in scene 1 SHOULD take you to scene 2 - but…

Thanks

if you want to jump through variables why dont you try giving a frame name?
like give meaningful frame name to scene 1 on frame 1
try it

Tanvi, and the others that have had a look at this, - thanks for the idea but I’m still unable to jump to a scene whose name is contained in a variable. This should not be this hard! Any ideas would sure be appreciated.

Thanks
