Thanks for the response Jordan. &nbsp;Your solution pointed me in the right direction. &nbsp;However, I did have to modify your code in order for it to work. 
 
The following code worked: 
 
btnSubmit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnSubmit_CLICK); 
 
function btnSubmit_CLICK (event:MouseEvent):void 
{ 
gotoAndPlay(1, &quot;Scene 2&quot;); 
} 
 
stop(); 
 
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Jordan.  Your solution pointed me in the right direction.  However, I did have to modify your code in order for it to work.

The following code worked:

btnSubmit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnSubmit_CLICK);

function btnSubmit_CLICK (event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");
}

stop();

Thanks!

Greetings Experts, 
 
I am having difficulty preventing Flash scenes from looping in AS3. &nbsp;I have a very simple test file with two scenes (Scene 1 and Scene 2). &nbsp;I have a button in Scene 1 that when clicked, loads Scene 2. &nbsp;This works correctly in AS2 but in AS3 the two scenes just continuously loop. &nbsp;AS3 seems to be ignoring my stop() action (or I am doing something wrong). 
 
Scene 1 frame 1 actions: 
btnSubmit.onRelease = function() { 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;gotoAndPlay(&quot;Scene 2&quot;, 1); 
} 
 
Scene 1 frame 2 actions: 
stop(); 
 
Scene 2 frame 1 actions: 
stop(); 
 
Can someone please help me understand what I'm doing wrong? &nbsp;Please elaborate on the &quot;why&quot; behind your solution. 
 
Thanks!

What is different in actionscript 3 with regard to the stop() action?

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a cross-platform multimedia and software platform used to embed animations, video, and interactive applications into web pages and desktop and mobile applications and games. Flash displays text, vector and raster graphics to provide animations, video games and applications. It allows streaming of audio and video, and can capture mouse, keyboard, microphone and camera input. The ActionScript programming language allows creation of interactive animations, video games, web applications, desktop applications and mobile applications.
