and have been looking at the excellent Slide Presentation mode in MX Pro which

seem to suit perfectly.

I've been through the tutorial and it seems to suit fine in that I can

but I wonder (and am having trouble) jumping to a frame label from within a
different scene

and wonder if this is possible.

I would be very grateful of any advice/caveats prior to starting such a large
project.
many thanks,

put this line on the button you want where scene is the scene name, and
frame the frame name
gotoAndStop(Scene,Frame);

Actually not really good suggestion.
Not to worry tho , MM help files does not really make a good job informing
users about issues related to Scene/Frame methods so it's perfectly
natural for users not to know about it.


Widely discuss on forum number of times in past many years that
scenes are Only for authoring purpose , they are not included
in final SWF files . Your movie become one long timeline once exported
and Scene basically are to give an end to one and beginning to another
timeline . That's why you can't target them in your actions. Plus, if
scene 1 has 100 frames and scene 2 has 100, the frame 10 in scene two become
actually frame 110. Using scene go to frame 1 will return to the first
frame of the timeline not scene.

Labels are what you need to use
Attach unique label to first frame of scene you like to target or ,any frame
for that matter , and use

_root.gotoAndPlay("label");
