I've got some text with an invisible button over the top. Before I changed an image within symbol this button text is in, everything worked fine! Now suddenly my text is invisible when I publish the movie. Only when the movie is published (or tested within flash) while I'm editing it, everything is there!

Also, can anyone remind me of the code for a button to navigate to a frame ourside an instance? I think it's

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(level1.11);
}

but I can't remember! Thanks!!

Try to embed your text (embed outlines)
on (release) {
myMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(12);
}

so... on the bit where you put myMovieClip, do you mean I put that exact phrase, or I should name my movie clip?

i want the button inside an instance to control the main movie in scene 1... if that makes sense, I want it to control the main time line. So this instance is on frame 2 for example, and i want the movie to go to frame 60 of the main time line, this will work?

Thanks so much!
