scene problem

[Leao]

In my Movie i put an on(release) action on a button to gotoAndPlay frame 1 of scene 2.
However when I test it, it always plays frame 1 of scene 1.

Ive tried changing the action to play frame 1 of scene 3 in stead, but it always insists on playing the current scene. The actions in other other scenes work fine so i dont understand.

what can i do?

When using scenes, use frame labels and target the label. So for scene 2 frame 1, add a framelabel there called scn2fr1, then on the button:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("scn2fr1");
}

cheers that seems to do the trick. I dont appear to have labels in my version of Flash, but I wrote "Scene 3" and it worked.

No, use a label. To make one, put a keyframe in the frame of the scene you want it, then in the Properties panel, look for a box on the left with greyed out text that says <Frame Label> click in there and type in the label name, then hit enter to set it.
