Hi Nivosh,

Simply label the targeted frame with a unique label and use the following:
on (press){
_root.menuinstance'sname.gotoAndStop("label"
}

thenks for the reply men, but when i put the command in the movie
an error appears:"String literal was not properly terminated
_root.maininstance'sname.gotoAndStop("menu""

do you know the reason for it?
also are you sure that it will work from a different scene?

thanks

Nivosh,
You have to give your menu clip an instance name. Select the clip on stage, and in the Instance panel, name it menu1 or whatever, but then use that name when you're referring to that clip.
So you would replace my "menuinstance'sname" with the instance name of your clip:
_root.menu1.gotoAndStop("label"

This will target your menu clip from every where! On top of that, if you want to go to a specific frame in that clip, you have to label (without the "&quot the targeted frame (in the Frame panel, give it a name), and then use your label as I have used "label". In other words, in the actionscript above, replace label with the name you gave to that frame, and this time, enclose it with "", as I've done!
