gotoandplay not working

[reza naghibi]

ok, i'm having trouble making a mousevent work. Take a look, the button WHO is supposed to go to the scene WHO, but it doesn't work. For the life of me, I can't figure it out.

the file is located here... help would be much appreciated.

It's going to the who scene, but it is stopping on the first frame of the who scene (because, hidden inside the globals layers, you have a stop(); command). So it looks like nothing is happening....

Remove the hidden stop(); command, and fix it to stop on the last frame of that scene.

I would also recommend using unique frame labels, rather than scene names with your gotoAndPlay() commands. Scene names and actionscript don't mix well.

Your button does in fact work, and hitting the "who" button moves the playhead to frame 1 of the the "who" scene. Problem is the who scene is exactly the same as your preceding scene, so you don't really notice it.

In any case, you shouldn't be using gotoAndPlay, but gotoAndStop!
And you shouldn't even be targeting scene names, but labeled frames instead.
