scene navigation in flash mx?

Question

i'm trying to create a website using flash. it's been a LONG time since ive used it and basically forgot everything. Let's say i have 2 buttons that i imported from the common library. i need to be able to click 'button 2' and go to frame 2. i need to be able to click 'button1' from frame 2 and go back to frame 1.

the action that i have on 'button 2' says something like:

on(release){
gotoandplay(2);
}

what am i doing wrong?

gotoandstop didnt work either

do the frames need to be in different layers?

Answer 1

personally i always put
stop();
in every frame that is being moved to this is a backup and prevents things like this happening
also

gotoAndStop();
gotoAndPlay();

it is case sensative

i design lots of sites and use a scene for each section etc.

all you do is have a fade in and fade out an pass a variable of button press fade out the use case statements to choose which scene to go to.

Answer 2

Try changing it from gotoandPLAY to gotoandSTOP. Having it as gotoandplay will cause it to continue past frame 2 or, if frame 2 is the last frame, cause it to go back to the beginning.
