Scene transition infinite loop 1

[Tanag]

Basically I have a flash file with 3 scenes, Each scene currently has no animation or action scripts. I want the main scene to have 2 buttons that link to the other 2 scenes.

I have all 3 scenes created and the buttons made, however when I run the Test Movie it just loops between all 3 scenes in order infiniately. I tried adding a stop into the action script of the original scene. It stops the scene but then the links do not work.
As for links they are just plain text, I made them into movie clips so I could make them buttons The action script for them is as follows:

on(press){
gotoAndStop("Scene 2 - Provinces", 1);
}

Does anyone know a way to stop it from looping other than stop? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Don't ever target a scene name in your Flash life again!

ONLY target labeled frames, and add the targeted timeline to your path on your buttons' scripts...

Thus label the first frame (or for that matter any possibly targetable frame...) of each scene with a unique label such as my_scene1, my_scene2, etc... (no number only labels or at least not starting off with a number, no spaces, no caps and no special character other than the underscore...), add the targeted timeline to your path - in your case, _root or _level0 - and only target that labeled frame on your button' script...

on(release){
_level0.gotoAndPlay("my_scene1");
}

The reason I was targetting the scene name was that's what I gathered it meant from the tooltip that pops up when you starts to type gotAndPlay(...

Thanks though, that worked like a charm.
