ComboBox navigating between scenes

[globetrotter84]

I'm relatively new to flash...

I have built a photogallery with 4 different galleries which are on 4 different scenes in my movie (flash mx)

To navagate the scenes I'm using a combobox component with a gotoAndPlay action.

I have set up actionscript to retrieve the name of the scene in the "data" that matches the "label" of the combobox using the change handler...however, when I chose one of the scenes it only moves forward one scene at a time, not matching the label I've chosen.

Each Scene has this actionscript in the first frame.

stop();
function changescene() {
gotoAndPlay("galleries.getSelectedItem().data", "1");
}

('galleries' is the instance name of my combobox, changescene is the instance name of my change handler)

Can anyone offer some advice?

Thank you

You seem to be targeting a scene name?
Scene names can't be targeted from movie clips and a combo is a movie clip...
Target labeled frames in each scene...
Try this...

Targeting the labeled frame worked great.
Through your .fla I also realized I had another error...each scene had the 'Change Scene' actionscript and it was messing stuff up. So I deleted it on scenes 2-4 and it works brilliantly now.

Much gratitude
