Building navigation in Flash

I've got a simple flash movie at:

http://www.geocities.com/ian_dunn/

What I'm trying to do is build a navigation system (similar to a normal webpage) that goes between scenes. It works, but if you're allready at, for example, scene #2, and you click the button to go to scene #2, it'll take you to scene #3, and if you click it again it'll take you back to scene #2. Does anyone know why it's doing that?

Thanks

I do Flash at home and since I'm at work now, I'll take a stab at it here. Later I can give you a definate answer, I had the same problem once before.

Anyway, are the actions on your buttons set to "goto and play" or "goto and stop"? Check these first and then look at your actions layer to make sure all stop()'s are where they should be.

Let me know if you get it. Talk at you later.

That fixed part of it. The first button won't change anymore if you double-click, but the second two still do. I've got the buttons and a stop() action on the same frame.

I've updated the webpage if you want to see the .swf or the .fla

You'll need to change the buttons to 'gotoAndStop()' in all 3 different scenes in order to make it work. But you would be better off using 1 scene with frame labels. Easier to work with.

Oops, haha, you're right, I forgot to do it on the 2nd and 3rd scenes. Thanks.
