Need help with changing scenes with buttons

[Paladin757]

Hi I'm having some trouble changing scenes with Flash CS3 I can make buttons that go to a fame in the timeline but I can't change scenes. Can someone please post some example action script of how to change scenes with a button? It would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

You should not use scenes, they're a mess ..

Divide you main timeline into frames and label each one of them. On each frame, make a container movieclip wich contains the content. That way, you sort of have scenes, but then in a good way

And use gotoAndPlay("framename"); to switch of course.

Thank you for your reply this method seems to be much better than using multiple scenes.

florianvanthuyn is correct in his/her advice,

but just for prosperity:

gotoAndPlay(framenumber, "scene_name");
