misbehaving button

[esearing]

I have a button which directs play in scene 2

on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("Scene2",2);
}

Occaisionally when the button is pressed, the movie will jump to Scene 1, Frame2 and Stops. Scene 1 contains a moving text effect.

I am able to force the situation by pressing the button 3 times. while frame 2 is loaded.

Any Ideas??
Should I add something like::
on (release) {
if (_framesLoaded == 2){
stop(); //or break();
}
else {
gotoAndStop ("Scene2",2);
}
}

Can you post the fla somewhere? The first method should work fine.

I figured it out. Left out the space in the scene name. But I still don't get why it would jump to Scene one after 3 clicks.

on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 2", 2);
}

Where's this button exactly? Scene 1 or Scene 2? How many frames in Scene 2? Seems to me, on each press the movie is advanced to the next frame, and when it reaches the end of Scene 2, it cycles back to scene 1, which is normal.
You could set a variable to true once you're on that frame, and then condition the button's script somewhat like:

on (press) { // I hate on release!
if (variable == true){
stop();
} else {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 2",2);
}
}
