macromedia flash sitedesign: Hi

I only know the basic of Flash so hopefully this question should be straight
foreward to most people!

I'm puting together a Flash movie that contains several scenes and need the
Timeline to only continue form one scene to another (on some scenes not all)
once a button symbol on sceen is selected.

I have tried using the following action script but it doesn't seem to work:

on (click) {
gotoAndPlay(nextScene);
}

Can anyone help... please bear in mind that I'm not at all experieced on this
type of stuff and only speak English (not any programing language).

Thanks,

Hi Nathan,

Where are you placing that code?
It would only work I believe if placed on a button symbol and if the
user presses that button...

You could select the last frame on that scene and add the
gotoAndPlay(nextscene); This would just advance to the next scene when
it reaches that last frame..

Honestly it has been a while since I used scenes. It is kind of a
preference but I think nowadays it is "better" practice not to use it
and manipulate the movie clips under a single frames.

So instead of placing your animation on the main timeline, make a movie
clip and place that movie clip on the first frame, a second mc on the
second frame and so one with a stop() on the frame where the movie clip
is placed (main)
