problems with linking buttons

[drosster]

Hello. This problem is very complex so I'll going to do my best in explain my question. How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.

I guess you are talking about buttons inside MovieClip symbols (which have independent timelines). I think it would make more sense to have Flash navigation buttons outside of MovieClip.

The following code is not mine, but it is a good navigation example.

Scene 1
   Actions for Frame 1
      var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/intro.swf");
      var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
      myLoader.load(myURL);
      target_mc.addChild(myLoader);
   Actions for Frame 2
      stop();
      home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);
      function goHome(e:MouseEvent):void
      {
         gotoAndStop("$home");
         myURL = new URLRequest("swfs/intro.swf");
         myLoader.load(myURL);
      }
      web_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goWeb);
      function goWeb(e:MouseEvent):void
      {
         gotoAndStop("$w1");
         myURL = new URLRequest("swfs/w1.swf");
         myLoader.load(myURL);
      }
      print_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPrint);
      function goPrint(e:MouseEvent):void
      {
         gotoAndStop("$p1");
         myURL = new URLRequest("swfs/p1.swf");
         myLoader.load(myURL);
      }
   Actions for Frame 5
      w1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadWeb);
      w2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadWeb);
      w3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadWeb);
      function loadWeb(e:MouseEvent):void
      {
         gotoAndStop("$"+e.currentTarget.name);
         myURL = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
         myLoader.load(myURL);
      }
   Actions for Frame 20
      p1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPrint);
      p2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPrint);
      function loadPrint(e:MouseEvent):void
      {
         gotoAndStop("$"+e.currentTarget.name);
         myURL = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
         myLoader.load(myURL);
      }
