I’ve just successfully completed replicating your tutorial for a simple drop-down menu ( [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dropdownmenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dropdownmenu.htm) ) which works perfectly… almost.

In my Flash movie, I’ve created three scenes (…Scene 1, Scene 2, and Scene 3…). In my drop-down menu movie, there are three buttons that corrispond to the three scenes. I’ve dragged my ‘drop-menu’ movie onto each scene.

Here’s the problem. Inside the movie that creates the drop-down menu, I have attached the following action script to the ‘Scene 1’ button:

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 1”, 1);  
}

I’ve attached a “Scene 2” actionscript to the ‘Scene 2’ button, and a “Scene 3” actionscript to the ‘Scene 3’ button.

Yet, when I play my primary Flash movie, the drop-down menu buttons don’t take me to the corrisponding scenes. What am I doing wrong?
