mouse event in movie clip (i think)

[jferf]

I have a menu I constructed in a movie clip because it has mouse events. It is draggable and can be maximized or minimized to get it out of the way. I made some buttons for a navigation menu and slapped them on the menu inside the movie clip. When I drag the menu movie clip to the stage, I can't get the buttons to go to the appropriate scenes.

I know that it can't be that hard, but I am still kind of new to this. Any thoughts?

What you need to do is put a label on the first frame of your scenes like scene1 and scene2 or whatever. Then in the button actions use a tell target to go to the label and play or stop or whatever. But you need to target the main stage so you use:

Begin Tell Target ("/")
Go to and stop ("scene1"
End Tell Target

The reason that works is because when your movie is published it puts ALL your scenes into one big timeline so you can use a go to label action for scenes.

Hope that helps.
