[Veranan]

ok im kinda new to flash and im having a problem.
i am making a website in flash and i made a HOME button,
so i click on the Button layer i go to the ACTIONS panel and type in:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(5)
}

once ive typed that in i press F12 and then it opens in Firefox and i go and press the HOME button and Nothing happens.
i go back to Flash and i get a ERROR report and it says:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Button_ONE, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
     on (release) {

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Button_ONE, frame=1:Line 2: '{' expected
     gotoAndPlay(5) 

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 	 Reported Errors: 2

Please help me! how do i get the button to actually go to Frame 5?

You're forgetting the

;

at the end of your gotoAndPlay command.

Don't click on the button layer, click on the button itself. Remove the code you have on the timeline and put it on the button instance

Are you using AS2 or AS3? Also, is the action script on a button or on the timeline?
