linking btwn scenes

[nao448]

this is a bit of a beginner's problem, but I'd appreciate any advice..
basically, I have a movie clip within a scene, & upon reachning the end of this clip I have an
on(release) gotoAndPlay (Scene 1, framelabel) action applied to a button.
however, when clicking on this button, rather than taking me to the specified frame label in Scene 1, it seems to be replaying the same movie clip (current scene)

any thoughts?
thanks

Well check out the file i have attached for u.

Using the scene name and frame number wont work.

Also since ut button is inside a mc u would need to change the code on the button in the file ive attached to be:

on (release) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("second_scene");
}

Because if u dont use the _root. it will try and find that frame label within that movie clip so using _root targets the main timeline.

You can't use scene names from movie clips and/or from external movies loaded on other levels. You would only use a labeled frame as a target and add _root, or _level0 to your path.

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("frame_label");
}

BTW, no number only labels, or at least not starting off with a number.
