Linking Scenes Not Working Properly

Question

Should be a simple, easy thing. I can't get this to work
inside my subnavigation. Could someone email me at nikki at
imicci.com so I can show you this file? Or is there a way to post
it here. This has held me up all day and should be an easy fix. All
I need to do is link my subnavigation to different scenes or open
PDF files and it doesn't want to do anything.

Let me clarify something:
Scenes are Only for authoring purpose , they are not included
in final SWF files.
Your movie become one long timeline once exported and Scene
basically are to give
an end to one and beginning to another timeline . So if you
have scene 1 with 100
frames and scene 2 with 100 frames, the scene 2 first frame
is not #1 but the following
number of first scene 101 . Plus there is no scene names upon
export so you can
target them with action.
Secondly, the above is not very correct. OnMouseDown it's a
global event and will
react regardless place you click. Unless of course it was the
idea in the first place
than disregard that.

Every action attach to button must have appropriate handler.
In this case it should be:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("test");
