:confused;

I have no idea why this isn't working... I've tried attaching this code to a
button, to the actions layer, and to a frame... nothing happens!!

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Home", 1);
}

I've also tried using this code on all of them, too:

home.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay ("Home", 1);
}

I want this button to link the user back to the scene "Home" in frame 1. For
the life of me, I can't figure out why it isn't working.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

Scenes are fairly buggy, try frame lables instead:

Click on Frame 1 of the Home scene, and in the properties panel, put: home1
for the <Frame Label>. Then, in your script, use _root.gotoAndPlay("home1");

still nothing...

In my home scene, I have an actions layer. In scene 2, I also have an actions
layer. I have labelled the frame in the actions layer in the home scene
"home1".

In the actions layer in scene 2 I have attached the following code:

home.onRelease = function (){
_root.gotoAndPlay("home1");
}

after I test the movie, a blank "Output" screen pops up (I don't know what
this is...), and the home button will not work.
Perhaps I am putting the script in the wrong place? Hmmm, it seems like it
should be straightforward, as I've done it in other sites before, but it just
won't work... Any other theories? Are scenes always so buggy?

Thanks for your time and patience...

Heres what works for me;

On the "Home" scene I have a button to go to WhatsUp page with the
following AS.

WhatsUpButton.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("WhatsUp", "WhatsUp");

//comment
gotoAndPlay("Scene", "Frame/FrameLabel");
//comment
}

First frame of scene "WhatsUp" has a frame label called "WhatsUp." I
am using this method to navigate across many scenes with no problems.

Using frame numbers is what will give you the problems, since frame 1
of the home scene may in fact not be frame 1 of the entire movie once
its exported. Use frame labels.
