ok, im having a small problem. I have my project which is 3 scenes, the first scene is the main movie, inside that movie is a a button, which, when pressed, should play a movie in on scene 1 that is layered above the main movieclip. I cant seem to get the button to play the movie, so i’m wondering if there is a special segment of code i need in order to play a movie from a different scene/layer. Right now i’m just doing a basic release/gotoAndPlay. I have the movie named bio\_mc, the first frame of which is set to stop, with the second labeled “begin”. So i just had the code “on(release){ \<\> gotoAndPlay(“bio\_mc”, “begin”); \<\> }” If anybody actually followed that…any suggestions?
