Hey, im creating a character sheet and all i have to do is get the character to do a few things, im using Stan from american dad, so he draws his gun, salutes, and does this guns speech, only problem is. i can get him to salute by using the code

on(release){  
gotoAndPlay(“2”);  
}

this links fine, the salute is in a movieclip on frame 2 of the timeline, and the button is set to link to this.  
problem starts after the movieclip finishes playing, i dont have a clue how to return to frame 1 on the main timeline, ive tried gotoAndStop(“1”) amongst other things (gotoAndStop(“Scene 1”, 1)  
ive also tried frameLables too but that didnt work, though im not sure if i was doing that right to start with.

Then im having a problem with my other buttons, even when set to on(release){gotoAndPlay(“3”);} they still go to frame 2 (with salute on)

Any ideas?
