I can Break anything!!!!

Hello. I am totally perplexed as to why I can't seem to get a simple button to bring me to another Scene. I have followed tutorials (to the letter.. so I assumed anyway) to create a button and create a new scene. The button works fine but it still will not go to Scene2
Here is the setup
Scene1;
layer 1 has "Text"
layer 2 has "shape" converted to symbol (button)
on "shape" layer in frame 1 the following action script is typed
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene2",1);
}
I know this is action script to button because in action script window it indicates Action-Button.


I have imported to library a Quick Time Movie and converted to Movie Symbol
Scene 2;
layer 1 Movie (dragged onto stage)
Frame 1 of movie in layer 2 following code in action script window is placed.
stop();


Now... I know the movie is OK and plays well because I had previously tested the movie symbol in Scene 1 and it loaded fine and played all the way through.

Problem now is,On test movie, button works as it should (changes color and pays sound file on 'release') but does not go to Scene 2 and play movie symbol.

Where have I gone wrong???

May sound simple but assuming you've created a 2nd Scene, without changing the Scene's name, so the 2nd Scene's name is the default that Flash gave it....

Also assuming that your message text contains the exact code being used...

You should be using:

gotoAndPlay("Scene 2");

and not

gotoAndPlay("Scene2",1);

The default Scene name would be "Scene 2" (with a space) and if you're targetting the start of the Scene, you won't need to mention the 1st frame.

If it's not that simple, please post your .fla and someone can have a squizz !!
