use the frame label only.
ie.
```auto
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Gallery");
}
```

MenuOn was a button, this needs to be a movie clip really as you dont want to click on this as a button you want to click on the buttons themselves. I also changed the code on the individual buttons to \_root.gotoAndPlay(“Home”); etc to reference the \_root timeline.
