Guys I need help with AS3 buton pls

[zZzUnwanteDzZz]

Hi again guys, well I'm really frustrated right now and would like your help please.

like last time my button won't navigate from my preloader scene to the next scene i don't know why

heres the actionscript:

stop();
button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.M OUSE_DOWN,mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("animation");
}

I made this in action script 3.0 the main problem is in the ---gotoAndPlay("animation");--- part

everytime I play it, a syntax correction comes up and says that I need to put a specific frame to be played in the scene everytime I do this --->gotoAndPlay("animation", 1)<--- which is the traditional way of actionscript navigation, it says syntax error, would anyone care to help me with my problem?

I really need help please anyone?

In AS3 it is gotoAndStop(1, "animation");. It used to be (scene, frame) or (frame). It's more logical now. If you just have ("animation") then it will treat it as a frame label, not a scene.

Umm, your button won't work, because you only testing for when someone clicks the screen not when they click your button. instead of using MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, use "click". that will make sure the actions only happen when your button is actually pressed.
