BAD SCENE !

[rachna]

Trying to solve a stupid problem on scenes linked to buttons. Why aren't my buttons going to the specified scenes mentioned ? Esp. on the last page, the last button doesn't take me to page 3, it takes me all the way the page 1 again. and there definately are no syntax errors. can somebody help this bad scene problem ?

hi there,

Please check the name of scenes and where you put the button!

Hi,
you really ought to avoid scenes in favour of using mC's to load your content, but I suppose its too late now...maybe in the future, you will be a lot happier for it, especially if you are using sound etc.

now to your problem, are you using syntax similar to that below:

on(release){
getURL("Scene2",5);
}

If so this is a known problem with Flash, it will not jump to a frame number in a different scene (Macromedia say it isnt a bug ) and it has been so since flash 5. Fortunately there is a simple workaround, you just need to give the frame you are targetting a frame label so then your code looks like this:

on(release){
getURL("Scene2" , "myLabel" );
}

where myLabel is the frame label you gave it.
Hope this solves your problem...and remember what I said about scenes in the future, most of the flash community avoid them.

Good Luck with your project.
