i have put my portfolio fla up so that you can see what i am aiming for. Unfortunately on the end frame, i have the :

“if (services=true) {  
gotoandplay(“services”,1)  
}”

etc. but this does not seem to work, it just goes to the next scene in the movie?

am i missing something realy daft?

it seemed to work when instead of gotoandplay, i used getURL???
