If you want to use gotoAndPlay to go to a particular scene, make sure
you give the first frame of that scene a frame label (one that matches the
name of the scene if you don't want to add confusion). Eg, to play a
scene named "part2", click on frame 1 of any layer in the part2 scene,
and type part2 into the frame label box in the Properties panel. Then
you can use this code on a button in another scene to go to that scene:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("part2");
}

(I couldn't get the gotoAndPlay to work for a scene any other way).

I couldn't get gotoAndPlay to go to a particular scene for any scene name or frame label; only gotoAndStop would work.

if you want the scene to go to a variable label it doesn't work with just a:
gotoAndPlay(varName);

but it does work with
_root.gotoAndPlay(varName);

must be something buggy with the code, but that's a work around.

what if i am in a movieclip and i want to make a button to goto a specified frame in another scence , how i can do it

What if i have a scene with a movie clip in it and i want ot gotoandplay() from a named frame in a nested clip EG

scene1
movie1
framez
movie2
framex

so the play head gets to movie1.framez and then i want to stop() it and start movie2.framex
What is that syntax I cant find it anywhere

this is what i tried

gotoAndPlay("_root.mcSen001.movie1.movie2", framex);
stop()

but it wont work is this how you refer to a frame in a movie, if so why wont it work?
Thanks
