gotoAndPlay not working

Question

Hey guys, I have a problem here. I have 2 buttons called start and settings and both buttons with change the next scenes after the movie ends.

Here's the sample of the code

Start button:

on (release)
{
  var o:Number = 1;
  gotoAndPlay (40);
}

Settings button:

on (release)
{
  var o:Number = 2;
  gotoAndPlay (40);
}

In the real animation, after I click on 1 of the buttons, the animation will slowly go white and at the final, it does this code:

trace(o);
if (o == 1)
          {
                    gotoAndPlay ("Selections");
          }
          else if (o == 2)
          {
                    gotoAndPlay ("Settings");
          }

But, the 'gotoAndPlay' doesn't work. I have applied this code on another scene and doesn't work too. Is there something wrong with my code?

you're making 'o' local to your button-scope when you prefix with var within those on(release) methods. also, no code should be attached to objects. attach code to timelines.

ie, name your buttons (eg, btn1 and btn2), remove the code you have now attached to those buttons and use:

var o:Number;

btn1.onRelease=function(){

o=1;

gotoAndPlay(40);

}

btn2.onRelease=function(){

o=2;

gotoAndPlay(40);

}
