For some reason you can’t target scene names with AS…least I’ve never been able to. Instead do this:
make a new layer in scene 8, click in the frame and give it a frame name of scene8 (ie in the lower right corner of the properties panel) then change your script to this:
[AS]
on (press) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(“scene8”);
}
[/AS]
and everything should work fine. Thats the only way I’ve been able to target scenes is with frame labels.
