Linking buttons (in a MC) to a scene

[ChrisWB174]

I am having trouble linking a button to go to another scene. I know how to do this usually, but I have a drop-down menu so the button is inside a movie clip. I can get the button to effect the surrent scene's timeline, by using the _root command but can't get it to go to another scene. I've tried putting the code on the button and on the timeline and nothing is working. Is there anything I can do short of moving everything around. Thanks

Is the scene that you want to get to labelled on its first frame....(example..."scene2")
then on button...

code:

---

on (press) {

	_root.gotoAndPlay("scene2");

}
