controlling the main timeline from within a movie clip

[benengel]

Hey folks

I think I have a fairly simple problem.

I have a movie clip placed on the main timeline with a button inside of it. All I want to do is assign an action to the button that tells the main timeline to move on to the next scene. However I am obviously messing something up because the best I can do is tell the main timeline to go to a specific frame within the first scene using

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(50);
}



but can't get it to go to the next scene using

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
}


Any ideas peeps? Any help much appreciated

Hi benengel...put a framelabel on frame1 of Scene2...then on your button...

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

...of course replace "frameLabel" with the label you put on the frame...no need to call the Scene name just the frameLabel...

Hope this helps...
