Flash help for replay button

Question

I have a simple movie that consists of 1 scene with some
layers. Each layer
contains a movie clip and there's an actions layer with a
stop action. All
the clips play at once. The clip that contains the ending
sequence contains
a replay button. The actionscript is as follows:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
With simple buttons enabled within flash, it does what is
expected, but when
I save as a .swf, it goes back to the first frame of the
movie clip it's
contained in, not the movie itself. How do I add a replay
button to a movie
set up the way I have it?
Thanks

Answer 1

Thanks for that. I got it to work by simply having the button
reload the
movie. I got to thinking that since all the clips play
through and then stop
at their respective endings. Going back to the first frame of
the root may
not work as the root only has 1 frame and the clips have
already played
through. Figured I should reload the movie.
But I'll try your solution and see if it also works.
