I’m assuming that this means you click a button and the scene loads.
This is the code you’ll need:
on (event) {
gotoAndPlay(“scene\_name”, “frame\_label”);
}
event: on(press), on(release) etc.
scene\_name & frame\_label: self explanatory.

you can use:
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 2”, 1);
or
nextScene();

a little warning about nextscene(); that some people forget about. When you invoke this command, it goes to the next scene, but it stops.
