What's wrong with the action:

system : go to layout...?

The only action you need is the above, the event and or conditions are up to you to decide..

You want to use a button?

on button pushed - system go to layout

If there is more to your question, it would be helpfull if you explained..

thankslic@little stain, I intend to use botton but am confused about the instance variable of the botton in the layout,I understand the event aspect.

What instance variable do you mean?

Are you using some kind of template or following a tutorial?

An instance variable isn't needed, but you could ofcourse give the button an instance variable..

In that case I would go for text and input the name of the layout you want the button to refer to as the text/string

Then you could use the action goto layout by name : button.instancevariable

personally i use make layer invisible, and disable solids (on have a on layer visible event)

(by this i mean have an event for each layout visible/ invisible that sets things on the layout to solid enable/disable)

so when you (if its an rpg style map movement system) on collision with the next layout sprite, make the current layout invisible, make new layout visible and then set position of player.

made a good town to wild game with this, also transfers to battle system layout lovely, while holding the players current location! (ps disable player movements if u are using it for a battle system)

i got bored so like most things went into making something else after.

hope this helps

You can just leave the "instance variable" of the button on its properties. If you want to use a button to go to another layout I think this should be it.

Scenario: Layout 1 with Button1, Layout 2

Event sheet of Layout 1

condition: button1|on click

action: system-> go to layout -> Layout 2 (Go to Layout 2)

here is a sample of that:
