Using Buttons Within MC

[Prophet79]

I am really hoping that this is a simple question. I have a series of buttons that I placed in a MC. The MC is placed on the Main Stage. I want the buttons to take the user to different scenes within the movie, but right now I can't get the buttons to do anything. Please help. Thanks

You need to use targets in your goto command or else they will effect the MC itself. So instead of putting:
gotoAndPlay ("SceneName", 5);
put
_root.gotoAndPlay ("SceneName", 5);

This tells your main timeline to goto wherever you specify.

If you're using Flash 4, then do
Tell Tagret ( "_level0")
Goto and Play (SceneName, 5)
End Tell Target

etc

Cheers
