I can't jump from scene to scene using a button

[onyi525]

I am using adobe flash professional CS6 and creating an ActionScript 3.0 file.

The error is that it says the system cannot find another scene which it is really existing...

I've tried remaking the scene but the system still doesn't work.

I've tried to use "Play next scene" also but it just simply replayed the same scene.

more_btn is the instant name of the "MORE HERE" button.

I will very appreciate if anyone can answer this question

Hi.

Which shortcut and/or menu command are you using to test your app?

Make sure you're not using Test Scene (Ctrl + Alt + Enter), because this command only compiles the current scene.

I don't know if that used to be the case, but for me either test movie or debug movie play the whole swf, and the mouse click works, regardless of whether I'm in the first or second scene at the time.

onyi, are you able to post a file online somewhere, so we can look for other things that might be going wrong?

Another tip for you, in Publish Settings there is a Permit debugging option. If you check that you can get more information. In your little test it's not so important, but when you have a lot of code it could help you to find the right line. Here's how my Output panel looked:

ArgumentError: Error #2108: Scene Indi was not found.

  at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()

  at Untitled_1_Scene1_fla::MainTimeline/goindi()[Untitled_1_Scene1_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:7]

That "frame1:7" tells me which frame script, and which line, to look for the error. As I said, not so important in your example, but handy to know about.

Here's the Publish Settings option:

Forget most of what I said! JC meant the shortcut for Test Scene. I was just doing the Test Movie ones.
