It’s supposed to go to the next frame that’s labeled when you click it!!! (I forgot what was the frame label)
I have no clue why it’s not working…

I know what’s wrong. Once I was testing that, the my computer was busy crashing! I could only open flash Mx and Internet explorer anymore! I tought why do i have to reset? I have all my needs 🙂
I think that’s the reason, because I have restarted now and now it works just fine! 🙂

I think it has somtin to do with the fact that the movie clip has buttons in it… i dunno…
Is there anyway… i make it just the moveclip… with out the button “home”.
Can you make a movie clip link to another frame.

the problem is that you have have a button, that has a movieclip that has a button.
If you look at the script you have attached to the “blue” button on the main timeline it says gotoAndstop (quizes), but if you look inside the movieclip you have a gotoAndStop(home) attached to the button. so basically your goto(quizes) isn’t working because it is getting a new command right after it that says go to home and stop.
here’s a trick, if you were to put a stop on frame 4 or 5 (not on frame one) you would see that it skips back to frame one.
so to get to the bottomline, duplicate your movie clip, change all the “home” in the second to “quizes” and color them accordingly inside the movie clips. get rid of the button on the main timeline.
your tell targets work, and so do your animations, there is no need to put that inside of another button.

Hmmm… good work jeremy… but… I realised that i could link from inside the movie clip but that gets really annoying when i want to change the link… I have to change it each frame of the movie clip…
I wanted to be able to have just one plave where i change the link to whereever it goes.
I guess ill just have to do it with changing the link inside the mc and using “\_root.”…
