I've trying to use a button to go to a new scene, I when I use it on a new document, it works fine. But when I use it on a pre-made ".fla" document, It just goes to back to the 1st frame of the current scene.
Please help me.

ActionScript

don't use scenes to navigate and don't use the goto functions. use the goto methods and frame labels:

again, use the goto methods and frame labels. the code in your previous message is correct. now, just click on the first frame in scene 2 and in the properties panel type in the frame label box type: scene2_frame1.

Thank You soooooo much. Now I can countinue. Akthough when I first used the code, I restarted the scene one again. SO I change it to on
(press) {
_root.gotoAndStop("scene2_frame1"); }

Thank you once again.

if that code fails, it's because you have no frame labeled "scene2_frame1" on your _root timeline.

How do you acess the _root timeline, and change scenes then?

the code i gave shouldn't be attached directly to an object. if you want that code to execute when your object undergoes an onPress etc event, put in an onPress etc handler.

I've also tried to input the comand to go to scene 2 frame 1, but it just restarts scene 1. Same thing happened when I typed in scene 3.

Unfortunately, I'm quite new at this and so I don't get what you mean. What options are there besides scenes, and "goto" command. And in the current settings, inputting "_root.gotoAndPlay("scene2_frame1");" merely brings up the error message

"**Error** Symbol=sprite 91, layer=Layer 7, frame=379:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
_root.gotoAndPlay("scene2_frame1");"
