Button Hell!!!!

[Mario912]

This is hell, I am a n00b and I still don't get this! I am using Flash MX

Okey dokey... I have an intro scene. The Letters come up with sound and then the button appears. Now, I want the movie to stop after the intro is played. Then, I want the button to play the next Scene (scene 2) when the button is clicked. For some reason... I have only goten one answer that didn't work (Syntax Error)! You can see the answer in Simple Stuff(Me Thinks)

well i could really use some more info about what the problem is.. Is this on the main timeline?
In order to jump to scenes you need to you the command syntax:
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1); or
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);

if the button is nested.. it will not jump to a scene.. the button has to reside on the main timeline..
does this help??

Not exactly

Lemme give you the situation!

Ok, I have a Scene (Scene 1). This scene has an animation where the letters pop up. then a button pops up... THE BUTTON IS A COMPLETLY DIFFERANT LAYER!

Is there some sort of property that has to be set for it to be a button?:confused:

[TheBarron]

ok... well a layer is not a button.
a button is an object... more specifically a symbol... once you create the button. you can assign actions to it using the actionscript pallette. i am really not sure what your problem is.
it sounds like everything should work.. try hitting F1 when you are in flash.. maybe that will help..
