Hi, same offer: if you want to send your email address by private msg, I'll send you a working example. That should clear up any confusions about moving between scenes.

> gotoAndPlay("1","Scene 1");

Hi. Are you sure that you don't want (1, "Scene 1") ? I.e., if you haven't assigned a label of "1" to a frame (which would be confusing)

also, if you are testing a scene with Ctrl-Alt-Enter, then you can't jump between scenes, IIRC. You'd instead get an error on the standard output.

but you can have the button navigate to a different scene if you've tested with Ctrl-Enter (i.e., the whole movie)

i always test control enter for the entire movie. i have not gotten any errors. i tried removing the "" from the frame with same outcome. as well as creating a layer on each scene and labeling it, still does not seem to work.

this is what i have so far and this is the error i keep getting
function onBtn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("about,scene1");
}
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtn1Click);

function onBtn2Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("drawings,scene2");
}
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtn2Click);



ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label drawings,scene2 not found in scene scene1.

i tried to simplify my problem my using component buttons with 4 ,single frame ,scenes and when i test the movie i can navigate to only one scene. i also tried to do this in a single scene movie and the code works great. the only difference in the code is the addition of the scene name. what could i be missing?

stop();

function onBtn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("1","Scene 1");
}
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtn1Click);

function onBtn2Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("1","Scene 2");
}
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtn2Click);

function onBtn3Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("1","Scene 3");
}
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtn3Click);

function onBtn4Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("1","Scene 4");
}
btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onBtn4Click);
