Hi there…can anyone help me?
I am trying to link two scenes together…I can do that easily, what I have problem with is the fact that I have a button that is within a movie clip in Scene 1 which is trying to call Scene 2…Is there a way to link to a scene from a button that is not on the same level?
Thanks for the help
UK
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("About Me", 1);
}
that doenst seem to work…I can link to scene 2 from scene 1 when I put button on main timeline…
But in this case the button I click just disappears and nothing happens
in your response…what does about me and 1 represent?
Thanks
silly me
I got the same code as you…but doesnt work…could it be anything to do with the fact that my button is within a movie within scene 1 that’s pointing to Scene 2?
yeah… use a frame label instead.
highlight the frame you want to play and you’ll see an input text field in the properties panel, write the label there.
then in your script you’d have something like this:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("frameLabel");
}
=)
Thats exactly the problem. Flash has horrible support for scenes, I have no clue why they still keep them if they aren’t going to fix the bugs.
You can only change scenes using gotoAndPlay(“scene”, frame#) if you are using a button or action on the main timeline.
Since your button is within a movie clip on the timeline you aren’t able to do that.
There is a workaround though… in your second scene give the frame a frame label (right click on the frame you are triggering to play and open the properties panel and assign the name in there).
Now… on your button you can use…
[AS]on (release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(“yourFrameLabel”);
}[/AS]
That way you target the frame label and not the scene 
and kax beat me… again… man I really need sleeeeeep!
Since Kax is here I think its safe to go sleeeeeepp
:sleep: :sleep:
for my site i am using the code that i posted earlyer, and it works great. lol
on (release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(“Godin”);
}
That’s the code I put in the actions of the buttons in the movie in scene 1. Godin is the label I assigned to frame 1 of Scene 2…
Unfortunately, when I click on the button, nothing happens…
Thanks for your patience in this matter…

wow! that’s a nice compliment!! thanks. =)
and UK_Goldorak… it works, try again, or you could attach your fla. 
Just cant seem to get it to work.
If you could have a look at it I would be greatful…Keep in mind that its a work in progress…
After the initial movements, there will be three buttons, the third being a drop down, the first name in that list should link to Scene 2.
Thanks for all your help

**** I tried to insert it, it tells me that the file is too big…
have you got an instant messenger?..
nope… i don’t. :-\
send it to *****@msn.com =)
ok i just sent…hope you can be my savior…
ehmm… i had no problems, it worked perfectly. :-\
now I am pulling my hair out…cause I cant seem to get it work on my side…
there is a button at the beginning which I put there just to test…the button that I wan to link in the first name in the drop-down menu which is the third button that shadows in
maybe it’s the way that I testing the movie…
I am so confused…
I choose Test Movie…and it doesnt work…perhaps there is something that I am not doing…
I’m dead lost…spending hours on this and it’s probably just a little stupid thing that I did…
well, like i said… there’s nothing wrong in the code, the frame label is correct and now i’m clueless as to why it’s working for me and not for you. :-\
Hmmm, that makes no sense if the same exact file works for kax and not you UK… did you change anything to make it different from the file Kax has?
i think so too… you must have changed something (maybe unintentionally?).
