I have a horizontal picture slider. The slider is a movie clip, but each picture element is a button. When a user clicks an image, it links to (opens) a PDF file, using:  
\<blockquote\>\<code\>on (release) {  
getURL(“portfolio.pdf”);  
}\</code\>\</blockquote\>I want to change that so it links to another Scene in the movie. I already have a separate button that does this successfully, using this:  
\<blockquote\>\<code\>on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 4”, 1);  
}\</code\>\</blockquote\>Here’s the problem. When I change the picture button links from the PDF to the Scene, it won’t work. The hand icon appears but if you click nothing happens. The Scene and Frame are correct, because it works fine with the other button. What could be the problem?

If your button is inside a movie clip symbol Flash has a weird bug where changing scenes doesn’t work… here is a workaround…
