I just started using AS 3.0 and am getting killed. I have a button (nxtBTN) in my main scene and want it to go to scene 1\_A when clicked. This is what I have, based on a turorial I was looking at:

stop();

nxtBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,uniquefunctionname);  
function uniquefunctionname(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
gotoAndPlay(1,‘1\_A’);  
}

That should work.

Any chance you can post your .fla file so we can see what’s happening?

Cheers.

I re-created the button and the code worked.

Thanks for your reply though.
