Question about buttons

1

ok, I’ll try to get my point across as clear as possible:

My navigation system involves movie clips within movie clips, like

|scene1| |navigation| |hormenu| |menu|

thats what is says across the top of my scene; under |menu| is where all my buttons are, how would i make one of those buttons gotoandplay (frame whatever) in |scene1|

i can make the buttons do whatever i want to do when it invloves them doing it under menu, but say if i label a frame “projectorscreen” in scene1 and make the button gotoandplay frame name “projectorscreen” it wont work,
understand?

any help would be appreciated

Welcome, HeeT. :stuck_out_tongue:

Use [font=courier new]_root[/font] to refer the first timeline in the hierarchy, or use [url=http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary619.html][font=courier new]_parent[/font] to go back one timeline in the hierarchy (you’ll need to put [font=courier new]_parent[/font] as many times as needed). :slight_smile:

on (press) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("frame_label");
}
//
on (press) {
_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("frame_label");
}
