Solve my easy scene problem! please *puppy dog look*

Hey people,
Well i have my problem,
I have a movie in the main line, in that is a button, the button has this script on it

on (press, release) {
gotoAndPlay ("profile", 1);
}
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.news") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.news") {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
}


The lines:

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.news") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.news") {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
}

Work fine my problem is that when u click on the button
it doesnt go to the scene i wish it to go to it just stops

on (press, release) {
gotoAndPlay ("profile", 1);
}

so why doesnt this little button go to the scene profile?

oh well thanks in advanced, if u actually solve my problem in the .fla send me an email if u please at [email protected]

ok thanks

It works fine if you cut button out of news MC and paste to root.
Why it doesn't go to scene 2 from MC in scene 1?... no idea. I never use scenes...but i'd like to know

The code makes sence to me , I don't know why it wouldn't go to the scene i even tred it with a frame label and it wouldn't work. But ye as already said buy dud the button works if in the main timeline. I have no idea y it doesn't work in the mc it should.

I aslo never use scenes all it is, is an exstention of the main timeline >>>>> scene one 1-6 >>> scene two 7-15 scene three >>>16 -31 >>>scene four 32-60.

Thanks :D, yer i normally do it that way i was just thinking bout a change :D like more structured thanks to everyone that posted

hi,

gotoAndPlay(sceneName) doesn't work from a movie clip - you should give the first frame in that scene a (unique) frame label instead and then use that with the gotoAndPlay command.

Mmmm thanks for that enemem..clearing up that fact. I would probably tidy up on the code a bit to,since tellTarget is supposed to be depreciated, so this would work. I spelt sucess your way nerby_oz.

on (press, release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("sucess");
}
on (rollOver) {
_root.news.gotoAndStop (2);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.news.gotoAndStop (1);
}

you are welcome ;)
I have to say that scenes are pretty useless when it comes down to it - like you said above - so probably better/easier to go with a normal main timeline split up into bits.

Take Enemem'as word for it. Believe us what we're talking about nerby_oz!!! Scene's only structure a headache.:D
