buttons and scenes

[justix]

I know this is been asked hundred of times...
Have my buttons in an MC which should call in to another
scene (scene3, buttons are in scene2) I used:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("Scene 3", 1);
}
is it right? because IT DOES NOT BLOODY WORK!! aarrgghh
what's going on?
plzz

try this

on (release) {
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 3", 1);
}
}


cheers

thanks man...did it now...but instead of working it does simply repeat the preloader and the main movie...

structure:

preloader (root?)
Scene2----mc calling to scene 3
scene3----rolls back and loadexternalmovie

don't know why but it doesnot go there....
cheers man....

[Billy T]

do you have a stop action in scene 3?

[justix]

no..it should play a movie backward and then call for a loadmovie...
instead it repeat the main movie
preloader+scene1;
sigh!

[Billy T]

can you upload the file?

[justix]

i'm trying to reduce it a bit....

[justix]

check the 1st button in the M2 ...is where the action should call
for the scene 3..
had to reduced it drastically....

Hi justix...

...put a frameLabel on frame1 of Scene3...for this example let's say something like "three"...

...then on your button in the movieClip put...

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("three");
}

...no need to call the Scene name just the frameLabel...

Hope this helps...
