Scene Problem

1

Hey there I think this is the correct place to post this.

Basically I’ve been working hard on an old school rpg for quite some time.

My main.as file controls movement and everything like that (Instances mentioned in the as3 file are placed in the scene manually). Where as NPCs are controlled with code placed in frame 1 of the scene. I know it’s bad practice to split a game up into scenes, but it’s working for me with such a big project, it helps to be able to see the levels to wrap my head around them.

Now both of the scenes work perfectly as intended when using the ‘test scene’ option.
However, when I want to travel from the starting scene to the next scene using the following code placed in frame 1 of the starting scene:

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,TRANSITIONS);

function TRANSITIONS(evt:MouseEvent)
{
	if (border.house1.hitTestPoint(upbumper2.x,upbumper2.y,true))
	{
		gotoAndStop(1,"SHALLOWS_INT1");
	}
}

well basically it takes me to the target scene but everything is frozen. It’s like the main.as file is not controlling anything. The player won’t move, it’s like no code is being executed.

I hope someone can tell me why this might be!

Thanks guys,
Mark
