hey,

I am in the process of making a cartoon on flash MX. I have just created the first few scenes but something is wrong.  
I have put a play button on the first scene to go to frame one of the next scene, but when i test the movie, it flashes through all of the scenes in one go, when each scene has a button at the end to go to the next.  
How can i prevent this problem? I just need to know how to stop it from going through all of the scenes as one animation and make it go to the next scene only when the button is pressed.  
THNX 🙂

MAX

you probably forgot to use either:  
stop()  
or gotoandstop(scene, frame)

sounds like you just need a stop(); at the end of the scene, with a button there that has an on (Press); that tells it to gotoAndPlay(next scene, 1).

Or something like that. Don’t have Flash currently open.

P :-\
