Hi,

I have a drop down movie button that shows the drop down when scrolled over but i cannot get the drop down buttons to link to the relevant frames.

My current script on the dropped down button is

on (release) {gotoAndStop(6);

}

which does nothing.

I tried this code  
[COLOR=#993300]on[/COLOR] COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#993300]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#993300]\_parent[/COLOR].[COLOR=#993300]gotoAndStop[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
Which takes me back to the opening movie scene instead of the scene with my buttons and relevant frame.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
