since the double quotes limit the string, how can i incluide them in my string, is it something like
string = "/"2/",2"

which would output: "2",2

Btw I am doing that because a buttton tells the _root to go to string, would it then goto to scene 2 frame 2 or does that not function ???

thnx !

All right thnx for the tip, however what i wanted to do doesnt work:


on (release, keyPress "<Left>") {
gotoAndPlay(_root.framelabel);
}

I want the button to send the user to scene 1 frame one which i have called
'framelabel on the root level:

framelabel = "\"1\",1"

it just daint work !

im not sure if it's possible to do that, as the gotoAndPlay(scene, frame) expects two arguments, and the scene name must be quoted string, i.e. you cant have a variable name in there.

Get rid of those scene/frame numbers, just USE a framelabel in your goto!
label="location";
on release gotoAndPlay (label);

i'd love to but does the label work for a different scene too ?
