How do I?

[meth]

In my flash movie I have a separate movie clip setup with multiple buttons to control the main timeline. For some reason I cannot tell target to an instance or even Goto a label in a scene with these buttons however. Can this be done?

You need to use the "call" command. To do this put a keyframe outside your animation on the main timeline ie. If your normal animation goes to frame 252 put the keyframe in frame 253 etc. Put the command to goto scene X in this frame.

Now in your button you will "call" the frame with the command in it. this will cause the program to execute the command without moving the playhead to that frame first. Your command will look like this:

On (Press)
Begin Tell Target ("_level0")
Call ("25")
End Tell Target
End On
