Hey all,

I am creating a digital presentation in Flash and I can’t figure out to get my link to change scenes. For Example: If you click on a main menu button … (“Profiles” for instance) … It works fine and I can view the “Profiles” scene. Inside of “Profiles” there are links that are handled by using layers, so I don’t have to leave the “Profiles” scene. When I try to go to another scene using a link…it just keeps taking me back to the beginning of the “Profiles” scene.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I tried using this code:

on (release) {  
\_root,gotoAndPlay(“Staff Profiles”, 1);  
}

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I also tried this:

on (release) {  
\_root,gotoAndPlay(“Staff Profiles”);  
}

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

and I also tried it without using the “\_root” command, and nothing seems to work.

I know it’s something dingy…any pointers? :crazy:
