Is this IMPOSSIBLE?

[rapidcarbon]

I have posted this question before but not too clear, so I deleted it and make a new thread.

Simple movie contains 2 scenes. Scene 1 has a movie clip named A. Inside A, there is a button. I want to move to a NEXT scence on the main time line everytime I clik that the button in MC A.

Using nextScene(), preScene() is possible with this? Or I have to label the scene, and using gotoAndPlay()? I don't want to label the scenes becuz the movie can get up 100 scenes.

to go to the next scene using nextScene(); on a button inside a MC won't work however you can work around it by:

on the main timeline create a custom function like so:

function goToNextScene() {
gotoAndStop(nextScene());
}


Then you can goto the next scene from anyWhere in you movie by calling this function:

on (release) {
_root.goToNextScene();
}

That will work but I wish I could use _root.nextScene(). If using your way, then we have to create that function in every scene in order to make it work, just like labeling the scene. Too much work

I don't know for sure, but did you try just putting

on(release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(nextScene());
}

in the button?

It might work...
