I don’t have MSN, I had it a while back and didn’t like it so I stuck with AIM and that is my only IM program:(

um… i know its probably a little late but you coulda just put

in the first frame of the movie clip stop(); but make sure its blank

and in the button put

on(release){  
\_root.movieclip(instance).gotoAndPlay(2);  
}

in the last frame of the movie clip:

gotoAndPlay(“scene2”,1);

and it would go to the next scene… (with only one frame on the main timeline)

If only it were that simple:( Calling any scene in any way has to be done from the main timeline. I previously tried what you said and it didn’t work, which is why I did what I did.
