Actionscript question.

[castlestudio]

Is there an ActionScript 2 variable that will, on release, play the remaining
frames of a scene, and the go to the corresponding scene associatd with the
button?

Example:

"Scene A" plays to frame 15 of a 30 frame scene and stops. At frame 15 the
user has an option of 3 buttons, Each with a corresponding Scene. OnRelease of
"Button B" the scene is to play to frame 30 of "Scene A" and then proceed to
frame 1 of "Scene B".

No, can't target scenes, only frames.
So if you call frames from your buttons it will work.
From buttons or frames you can write variables for future use.
Then pick them up when you need them.
PS don't use scenes, learn to use movie clips, it's much easier to deal
with...

um. By the sounds of it this may be over your head a little but...

place a stop(); action on frame 15
In each of the buttons place the following code:

// Button 1
on (release){
nextScene = 'scene A';
play();
}

// Button 2
on (release){
nextScene = 'scene B';
play();
}

// Button 3
on (release){
nextScene = 'scene C';
play();
}

ANd then on frame 30 (last frame of this scene) place the following code:
gotoAndPlay( nextScene, 1 ); // Place the first frame of the scene stored in
'nextScene'

Hope it helps,
Pea

Sneelock, yes about the scenes. I hope Macromedia gets rid of them in future version of flash
