SLMHILL,
You're mixing two ways of writing event handlers. If you want
to attach
the script to your button directly, use this code:
on(Release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1)
Or, if you want to place all of the scripting in one place,
on a frame
on the main timeline, you would use the code below.
opendoor.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
To do this, make sure your button on the stage has an
instance name of
"opendoor" -- instance name is in the Properties panel.
Then make a new layer called "actions" and make sure to click
on it in
the timeline, then open the Actions panel and write the code.
