Button link to another Scene, need code. I apologize

Question

I am just stumped over doing something really simple and I
need the code and the understanding to do this in Actionscript 2.0
. I hope someone can help !! I am authoring with Flash CS3, but
need to do the following for one file in Actionscript 2.0. I have
searched this forum and tried many solutions offered by experts,
but they do not seem to help. Perhaps I am missing something.
I need to enable a button on the main timeline that when
clicked, brings the user to Scene 2, frame 1. By the way this
particular frame is named M1
I have created a button properly. The instance name on the
timeline in Scene 1 is skipintro_btn
>>>Scenario 1 that I tried unsuccessfully
In the main timeline, I created an Actionscript layer and in
it, on the same frame as the skipintro_btn, I add this AS 2.0 code:
skipintro_btn.onPress = function():Void {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1)
and I tried this:
skipintro_btn.onPress = function():Void {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1)
But the above does not work. The cursor turns into a hand
when rolled over the button, but upon clicking there is no action.
>>>Scenario 2 that I tried unsuccessfully
On the main timeline, I added this code to the object itself,
instead of relying on the actionscript in a separate layer:
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("M1")

kglad,
Thx for this information, then what should the entire AS be
then? The code you sent needs the instance name, the onPress or
onRelease information, maybe something else...? We gotta tell it if
something happens (the person clicks on that instance of button),
then do what you give below...
_root.gotoAndPlay("scene2_frame1"); // <- label this frame
thx!
