I’m hoping you guys can help me.

I am working on a nav where when the user clicks on a selection, the nav first plays through a transition/outtro and then is directed to the appropriate scene via a variable embedded into the nav button.

For whatever reason it seems to simply cycle through all the different scenes when I click on a the buttons rather than go to the appropriate scene.

This is what I have:

* * *

In the button:

on (release) {  
\_root.play();  
y = “1”;  
getURL(“body\_home.htm”, “body”);  
}

* * *

In the last frame of the scene:

stop();  
if (y = “1”) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
if (y = “2”) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
if (y = “3”) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“portfolio”);  
}  
if (y == “4”) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“clients”);  
}  
if (y == “5”) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“ftp”);  
}  
if (y == “6”) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“contact”);  
}
