Help with simple situation :(

[nocomply]

I've looked EVERYWHERE!
I'm using Flash MX....Ok so this is a simple example of what I'm trying to do...I have my main time line and I added a circle...I converted the circle to a movie clip...I double clicked it. In the movie clip I double clicked the same circle and converted it into a button....Ok so in the movie clip I click actions for the button that i've created and did a on release goto and stop on frame one of scene two script....I added a scene 2 to the file with a stop action in frame one....when I load up the movie and click the button it DOESN'T goto scene 2. I believe it's because I don't know how to script nested things can someone PLEEEASE help me? What is the syntax for nexted things like this????

Hard to see the problem without seeing the code. Anyway...

Refer to the parent object using "_parent"
To control from a global point of view use "_root"

Examples...
// Go to the third frame of the parent movie clip.
this._parent.gotoAndStop(3);

// Go to the second frame of the main timeline...
_root.gotoAndStop(2);

Your problem is most likely the way you're referring to scene 2. When Flash creates a new scene, it automatically capitalizes the first letter, so "scene 2" is actually "Scene 2".

Try this on your button:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2, "Scene 2");
}

Although like Michael said, it's hard to tell without the code. For a more accurate answer, please post it.
