your going to have to convert your text into a button.... to do this select the text and press F8 . (or select the Text then Insert>Convert To Symbol ) Select the Radio button for Button and choose a name for it. Then click ok. Then all you have left to do is click on the button and use the actionscript window to tell it to restart the movie. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

on (press) {
	gotoAndPlay("Enter Scene Name", Enter Frame #);
}
