    Strange that the simplest things don't work.

    If you place a button in a movieclip and give it the action "go to scene", why o why doesn't it work. Every other action works except going to the scene. You can't address levels, like with variables. I wonder why I'm having this trouble, can anybody try and check this out.

    Weird

    Hi...
    You can only target another scene by first targeting the root and then a frame label in the other scene:

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

    Good luck.

    Still don't work

    Say Mark,

    So you are saying go to scene, choose target as label and specify the target with the crosschairicon to a named label in scene 2. The target specification can only be done in the third input box. I tried a quick example but it didn't work. I'll try again...

    I didn't ever had this trouble befor in Flash 4.

    Sorry for the pseudo rap, but the action is that simple that I didn't mention it.

    Howard(TheDuck) try it your self and you see what I mean.

    Place your code in a button and than place it in a movieclip.
    It won't work.

    You must target the scene like Mark suggests. Normally this is done in the top input box. I never imagined to wring it by using a label.

    Hi...
    You can only target other scenes, from an MC, if you target the root and a frame label:

    1) Select a frame in another scene and label it 'sceneTwoLabel'.

    2) Add the code to the button:

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

    Better still, copy & paste the above code directly into the actions panel to see how it works.
    I entered the above code using the 'evaluate' action found under the actions menu.

    Good luck.
