transferring from scenes

[Puj]

Just checking coz i really don't want to do my flash file over 3 scenes and then realize that i can't connect them together with a users click of a button ..
IF i want to create a button, which upon clicking, takes sthe users to the next scene, is it possible? if yes, is it by placing a stop action on frame 1 of the next scene and giving it a name and adding a gotoandplay <frame name> action on mouseevent of the button?

< is not very good with actionscripting

hey buddy>

saw your post.......

what you wanna do is place the action script inside the button itself.....

Make a new symbol and make sure you check "button" and construct your button in the 4 state frames.......

then drag your button to it's proper place on the stage, and then insert this action script IN THE INSTANCE OF THE BUTTON (Flash wont let you put actions in the actual button state frames...you must apply it to the object "the button" itself on the timeline)

here's the actionscript

on (release) {gotoAndPlay("Scene X", 1);
}

in this example upon the mouseclick FLash will go to Scene X, frame one.....
you can replace these variables w/ your own of course.....

OK Good luck

Daren!
