Menu to navigate between scenes

[sigalit]

I would appreciate help with the following question: I have a movie clip menu comprised of buttons that only unfolds when needed. I want to navigate with these buttons between the various scenes of my movie. When I attach script to each button, I can't just do "gotoAndPlay" and give the scene name, as I am writing this script from inside the movie clip the button is in. I'm stuck and can't think of a solution. Thank you, Sorrel

Label the first frame (or whatever frame you're aiming!) of each scene with a unique and descriptive label, such as start3 (original no?) for targeting Scene 3. Then on your buttons use something like...

on(press){
_root.gotoAndPlay("start3"
} Regards,

Dear oldnewbie,

Thanks so much for your reply - I was trying what you suggested but with scene names, and not lables..

Best regards,
Sorrel
