I'm making a Flash movie with a drop down menu (a movie symbol). The movie symbol is on its own layer in frame 1, scene 1 and remains present throughout the scene.
In the dropdown menu, one of the options is 'General Info'.
In frame 5 of scene 1, there is a keyframe which contains the 'General Info'. Can the 'General Info' button in the movie symbol make Scene 1 jump to frame 5 to display the 'General Info' frame? If yes, then how?
Any suggestions appreciated

Hi.
what about using a tell target command, but use the "_root" as the target, and tell it to go to frame 5 and stop.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm still having trouble
I tried this:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("Scene 2") {
gotoAndStop (5);
}
}
and setting tellTarget to ("_root"), but no luck.
I get this output error:
Target not found: Target="_root" Base="_level0.instance1"
Target not found: Target="Scene 2" Base="_level0.instance1"
Is that the sort of thing that is supposed to go in the tellTarget space? I'm not quite sure.

ah, are you trying to get a tell target working to go to another scene?
i havent figured that one out yet, the only way that i have figured out how to do that would be to make the button declare a variable to the main timeline. and put the goto command there and use the variable as the scene name :<
its long winded but i dont know any other way.
if its all in the same scene then ive made an example FLA up for ya,

or the swf file is there to
http://www.darren.mcbain.btinternet.co.uk/test.swf
see if thats what you need :>
try the tell target as an expression so its (_root) without the " marks.
let me know if that works or not, ill see what else i can come up with

ah sorry, you are using more than one scene..
i got the mail thanx very much (i think it was you) :>
ive had a read of that and its made me wonder why if you can reference frame labels, you cannot reference scenes the same :<
interestin read, need to take that down for reference later.
thanx again.
heres the link in case theres anyone else out there that needs a look at it.

DaZ :
I didn't send the mail, but thanks for the site reference - it's solved my problem! Thanks also for the example .fla/.swf. I'm very grateful.
Isn't it great to have a place like this with helpful people!
