Hi,

I am fairly new to Flash and I was wondering if someone could explain to me why this doesn’t work.

I have four scenes. On the first scene I have a menu. This menu is a movie clip with buttons on. The buttons read 1, 2, 3, 4 and take the user to each of the four scenes with the code:

```auto
on(Release) {

_root.gotoAndPlay("scenenumberhere");

}

```

Each scene has a label indicating it’s scenenumberhere. This all works great. However I have one button which goes to later on in the timeline of the movie. This frame contains another button which is supposed to link to scene 4. It doesn’t work with this code:

```auto
on(Release) {

_root.gotoAndPlay("scene4");

}

```

Does anyone have any ideas why it won’t work?

Thanks,

Lilalfyalien
