Go to and Play won't play correct frame

Question

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this one:
Scene 1: currently has 50 frames, will become my preloader
Scene 2: Working on now... Have a button instance that has a
Go to and Play command, which should link to the same scene, frame
71 (labeled "subhomeAbout"), to pull up the submenu
I've used the action:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("subhomeAbout");

Answer 1

Since your button is its own (pre-compiled?) movie clip
within your movie, what you're requesting with the code
'gotoAndPlay("subhomeAbout");' is for the
button's movie clip to go to the frame within itself labeled
"subhomeAbout" where, I'm assuming, it does not exist. You have to
specify which movie clip should go to the frame labeled
"subhomeAbout," which, in your case, will be referenced as _level0,
_parent, or _root from the button. With the information you
provided, an example of what you probably need is:
on (rollOver) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("subhomeAbout");
}
