How hard can this be? :|

Stick this on the button. Make sure it's a button, not a movieclip. It seems you stuck it on an MC judging by your errors.

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(INSERT FRAME NUMBER);
}

NO. even MC's can have on(release) events. It was on a button, but he just added this

gotoAndPlay(5);

to the topic starter

worked? kthxbai

[ZombieMonkey]

Look id dosn't work.I will send the movie and you do it for me and send it back k?

on of you give me your e-mail and please can you do it.

i dont get what you dont get. But ill explain.

on(release){

thats an onClipEvent (literally). The on, means what will happen if that is done. the thing between parenthesis (release) is what has to happen, the { opens actions so that those actions happen if you do that. Get my drift?

_root.gotoAndPlay(5);

The _root means that it will be in the main stage. For example, if you had a movieclip with the instance name of "thing" without the quotes, and youd want it to goto any frame, youd use _root.thing.gotoAndPlay(blah). Basically, thats how you navigate through things. The _root is the main timeline. Get my drift?

};

Thats just closing the brackets that were opened in a while back, which means, the actions are done.

Again, get my drift? just add

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(5);
};

on the button.

Good luck.

I copy pasted your script and it tells me this:**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Movie, frame=2:Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler
};
