Jumping from Scene to Scene with Buttons?

[charles_bell74]

Hi. Is there a simple way to jump to a new scene after pressing a button that is within a movie clip? I have been trying to do it with variables without any luck to this point.

The movie is called sidemenu and the button wihin the movie clip is called roster.

I have the property for roster as follows:

On (Press)
Set Variable: "buttonpressed" = 1
End On

And back on the opening scene, I have the property set up as follows:

If (sidemenu/roster:buttonpressed=1)
Go to and Play (roster, 1)
End If



So far, this has not worked. Any suggestions?

I ended up modifying the code as follows to get it to work. In the roster button, I used the tell target command and told it to go to frame 2 of _level0 if the button was pressed. In frame two of _level0 I simply told it to go to the roster scene.

This works, but seems more work than the other way. Anyone know what is wrong with my code above?

Thanks!

The best way is to label the first frame of each scene then on your button from inside the movieclip put:

on(press)
Begin tell target("/")
Go To And Play("labelname")
End tell target
end on


That will work just fine.

/ refers to the main timeline when using the tell target command.

Hope that helps!
