why not put the action in the actionscript for the button ?

i.e. convert the object to a button using F8 etc

right click on button and select actions

then use

Graphics and Multimedia Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. on (release) {
  2.     gotoAndStop(PAGE NUMBER);
  3. }

then whenever you wish to use this just copy the button from your library ? does that help ?

Re: Linking Pages in Flash

Thanx guys, some positive progress seen. But its nw acting funny ie. when i publish it, it keeps on playing all the scenes. This wat i used for all the buttons:

on (release){
gotoAndStop("scene x");
}

NB: X stands for the scene number.

Anyone who knows wea de problem is n hw to stop it?
Thanx

Re: Linking Pages in Flash

what is on(release) ?


I think what you want is:
Graphics and Multimedia Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. < .... onclick="gotoAndStop('scene x')">

This thing is confusing me. Do you mean
1. you have made different flash movies and places them in different files.
2. you have made different scenes in a flash movie.
3. you have made different flash movies and a master flash movie where you use other falsh movies using loadMovie.

Make sure that the symbol you are using is not a BUTTON, but a MovieClip.
Also if your flash movie plays all the scens without stopping check out the actionscipt in each frame.
