Buttons within a MovieClip

[vangould]

Hi,
I have sued buttons within movie clips many times, but for some reason they are not linking to specific scenes properly.

I have a movie clip in a scene named "main". In this movie clip I have two buttons. Within the main swf(fla) I have another scene named "about". It does not link when using the following code...

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

Am I doing something wrong??

Thanks

that code is trying to gotoandplay a frame labeled 'about', you want gotoAndPlay(1, "about");

Also scenes are a headache in general

You cannot target Scenes from another timeline.
this:

_root.gotoAndPlay("about"); 

will only work if "about" is a label on a keyframe (for instance, the first frame of your 'about' Scene)
