    Problem with a link inside a movie

    Ok here's the problem. I used swish to create a members list of all the members involved in the association the site is being made for. When the .swf movie "allmembers" finishes i put the stop action on the last frame and then made each name a button...I told each button to go to their page. I used this action for the link which worked for all the other links that weren't inside an imported movie...on (release) {
    gotoAndStop("Darkskull", 1);
    }
    When I play the movie and click the button titled Darkskull it goes to the page members again instead of the page titled Darkskull I made for it.
    I know this is probably confusing to read but i'm not all here tonight if you know what I mean. I can send you the .swf if any of you'd like to attempt to fix it for me that would be greatly appreciated.

    Try this:

    on(release){
    _parent.gotoAndPlay("Darkskull",1);
    }

    you dont have to specify a frame# when your targeting a frame "label"
    so there sint aby need to add a ,1
    just label the frame ..like this\
    Code:
    on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndStop("Darkskull");
    }

    I thought "Darkskull" was the Scene name. But I could be wrong.

    If it was a Scene name, you can't target Scene names from movie clips and/or from movies loaded on other levels. You must target labeled frames, and also add _root (from movie clips) or _level0 (from movies on other levels) to your path.

    wow confusing....Yes, if you use Swish you know what I mean it does the text effect movies...when that stops i want the text that faded in to be buttons that link to a members info page...I guess i'll just try to figure out a different way. thanks though for the help
