Hi, I am working on a website for a dentist friend. I have the navigation bar which loads across the bottom. I am using buttons on the nav bar which use this code:

on (press) {  
\_root.contentText2.gotoandplay(“welcome1”)  
}

I had an earlier version which worked fine, but now, after some changes, it will not work anymore. here is what I have.

I am using a placeholder in the main timeline, named “contentText2”, in which I dragged my ‘contentText2’ MC from the library and placed on stage. The ‘contentText2’ MC consists of all the text and some pics for the site, about, services, contact, etc. I am using about 10-15 different labels within contentText2 for each respective section.

Back to my code. the menu button uses the code above and I would think would bring me into the contentText2 MC to the section labeled “welcome1”.

anyone have any ideas how to solve my navigation problem?  
I uploaded my .fla if anyone wants to help. thanks, dave.
