hello, please can you help me, i need it for uni work lol

the issue is that i made a button to go forward on frame 1 to frame 10, the code being:

stop();
door1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, secondDownHandler);
function secondDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(10, "secondScene");
 }

that works fine, but i want to place a button on the frame 10 to go baack to frame 1, but everytime i place the code in, it just plays my first scene and carrys on, thru the second scene, ignoring the stop code, this only happens if the code on the 10th frame is there, with it its fine.

so i can you please tell me what im doing wrong, or is there a specific “back button”?

cheers

I am using this code
stop();
more_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, more_btnHandler1);
function more_btnHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(114);
}

When i click the button i made to go forward it goes forward and then when i click a back button i made it goes back to the beginning of the swf starting with my intro animation but the content the showed up when i clicked my back buttons is on top of every thing. who do i get it to just go back and not start all over again

hey jen. i’m using flash 8 and i have problems linking button/moviesclip within multiple symbols. i need to link it to another scene. it only works if the buttons is not within any symbols. if i put the buttons outside any symbols, other function wont work. currently the actionscript i’m using for my buttons that works outside any symbols but wont work within symbols is:

_root.button1.onRelease = function(){
    gotoAndPlay("scene1", 1);
}

thank you.

i have just copy and pasted your button from the sample fla above, and now it works. i have been using the very basic buttons ‘up, over, down, hit’ is there a problem with doing this? thank you
