Ready for something unexpected?

I used to have a button at the root of the second scene which would direct you to a different scene. Worked perfectly.  
Now, that button is in a clip at the root of the second scene. And i have tried:

[AS]  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene Name”);  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“Scene Name”);  
nextScene();  
[/AS]

and nothing would happen. Then i tried another thing and it worked:

[AS]\_root.gotoAndPlay(1);[/AS]

which directed me to the first frame of the movie, i.e. the first frame of the first scene. So i guess it doesn’t matter to me why it wouldn’t work by calling the scene and i could just count the frames to access a different scene (though now, i have a different idea on how to setup my interface) but it is pretty strange…or not, i don’t care.
