Main menu button

programming flash

I have a main menu button

Now I have been told that if i use code _root.play() this will always go back to the begining (scene 1) and play it no matter where i use it in my game.

This cant be true as i have coded this and my game goes to Scene 3 :crying:

I have a main menu situated in a movie clip inside a movieclip ( e.g Scene 2 - Movieclip1 - movieclip2) Now when i use the target on the main menu button and click on _root it displays the code as this._parent._parent so i tried this - - - this._parent._parent.play() (added play to play it obviously). This also goes to scene 3 :crying:

Can anybody help me please ??

have you looked at prevScene() ?

Yeah. That doesnt work, the button is too embedded inside movieclip+movieclip. I need to use a parent (or so i thought) but no code is working
