Need Help With Flash Actions

i am trying in flash to have a button that switches scenes and starts to play the new scene. basically, when you hit it, i want it to switch scenes and start playing the new scene. how do i do this?

Should be as simple as:

Code: Select all

on (release)
{
gotoAndPlay ("scene name", 1); //where 1 is frame one fo the specified scene.
}

Do you want to be able to keep going to the next scene? Or one scene? Or do you want it to be able to switch back and forth between two scenes?

ok so heres whats happening:

scene 1 is playing. at the end of scene one i have on a different layer an action to stop scene 1. I also have a different layer with a button. What is the actionscript i use to make it go play scene 2 once you release the mouse from the button?

The code I supplied should be what you need.

When i use what you gave me i get this message (by the way the first scene is called Scene 1 and th second scen is called Scene 2):

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 3, frame=39:Line 4: Syntax error.
{

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 3, frame=39:Line 2: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
{

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 3, frame=39:Line 4: Syntax error.
{

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3

Whoops change it to a } instead of a {
