FLASH 5 Linking Scenes

[Quailbert]

Hey,

Does anyone know how to make Flash Buttons that has been placed in a movie clip link to other scenes. I make a pop out menu and it is a movie clip. Buttons are in the movie clip. When I assign actions to it telling it to go to another fram if released. But it just goes back to frame one of the introduction. Hope that is pretty clear. I'm doing this for a Graphic Arts class. If you want to see what I have done, I have the .fla file of the movie. Download it at

add this function to the main timeline

//variable is written to by each button in the menu MC
iWantTogoTo="";
function whereToGo () {
	if (iWantTogoTo == "sceneTwo") {
		gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);

//you will need to write more else iff statements if you have more buttons

	} else if (iWantTogoTo == "sceneOne") {
		gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", 1);
	}
}

add this to your buttons:
button1

on (release){

_root.iWantTogoTo="sceneTwo"; 
_root.WhereToGo();
}

button 2

on (release){

_root.iWantTogoTo="sceneOne"; 
_root.WhereToGo();
}

etc
