This is my first time usinge flash MX. I thought at one point i understood how to use scenes- and link to different scenes. for some reason nothing is working. i have 3 scenes in my file. i want a button to send me to another scene- then i want a button on that scene to send me to yet another scene. sounds simple- but i guess i must not be simple-minded… ugh. help. :o
There are a few ways to do it, but I like to use labels since it would also work if you place your buttons inside movieclips. Just place a label on each scene by going to that scene, click on a frame and open your properties panel. On the frame label input field, type in a name like “blah” for example and you’ll notice that it will appear on your timeline. Then apply this action to your button:
on (release){
gotoAndPlay("blah");
}
And if you place your button is inside a movieclip then the action would now have _root to it so it would look like this:
on (release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("blah");
}
So now no matter where your button is, it will link to the scene that has the “blah” label name you created. I hope that was clear enough. =)
Welcome to the forum by the way. =)
