Ive created a drop down menu, but now im trying to get it so when u click on one of the given buttons in the drop down menu, it goes to another frame in a different scene. I’ve tried putting on \<on release\> action followed by a go to action telling it to go to i.e. scene 3, frame 3. is there a certain format to enter this information or what else could i be doing wrong? I’m sure it’s got to be something basic. any help would be awesome.

[AS]on (release) {  
\*\*\_root.\*\*gotoAndPlay(“frameLabel”);  
}[/AS]Use a frame label instead. 😉

Also, are your buttons inside of a Movie Clip? If so, add **\_root.** to your script.
