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.
