Drop down button help

[lamborn]

Hello, I am trying to create a drop down menu in flash MX that will give users the option of swithing to a different scene within the same movie.
Using this tutorial as a base

http://www.hosehead78.com/tutorials/flash/MX-Menus/MX-menu-tut.htm

I have built a menu, and the drop down effect works just fine.
Also using the actionscript for buttons in the menu to direct the user to a new URL works great. But when I try to attach an action script to a button to make it go to a new scene within the movie, nothing... nada...el zippo.

So is it possible to do sucha a thing?

the script attached to the button looks like this

on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("stroke ps", "1");
}

From movie clips or loaded external movies on other levels, never target scene names but a labeled frame, and add the targeted timeline to your paths...
Thus label the targeted frame in the targeted scene with an unique label such as my_target1 (no number only labels, or at least not starting off with a number, no caps and no special character other than the underscore...), add _root or _level0 to your path, and target the labeled frame on your button's or frame's actionscripts...

on(release){
    _root.gotoAndplay("[b]my_target1[/b]");
}
