Linking scenes!

This is the most pathetic problem really.I am bulding a website in flash version flash mx 2004 professional and I’m having a rather huge headache over this. I have my scenes all done up but I cant link them to the buttons.The other problem is linking my dropdown movie clip buttons to scenes.Please help!
I have used the following code for the buttons on (press) {

gotoAndPlay(“scene3”,frame1);
}

and the following for the dropdown menu I have the following

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(“scene 2, 1”);
}

please help!!!
