I understand, just sayin it might be faster to just ask your question there too, thees like 1000 connaisseurs over there who woud love to help you, instead of waiting for 1 guy here :D

I only know the sw for 2 weeks now.but euh heres a quote from some dude

"SCENE FOLLOWING

First thing was to set up automatic scene progression as Live retardedly does not have this functionality. For this I simply selected all the clips in the scene, entered how many bars I wanted it to play for and selected the Next action."

(thats in the launch box,follow action.)

"The problem with this method is that if you have gaps in your arrangement (say a section where the bass doesn’t play), the missing clip will stop the progression dead in its tracks and nothing else will play on that track.

So you need to pad it out with dummy clips — all the black clips in the arrangement in the first screenshot. I used a file with a couple seconds of silence and filled all the gaps in with them. That way you can assign follow actions to those clips and it works fine — but is tedious to set up (and annoying when you’re trying to modify your arrangement)."

yo cruiss ,ge wist da messchien al ,ma kdacht ik stuur et ma nonkee.

if you go into midi-mode (or key-mode) you'll see some extra buttons on the right side, just beneath the scene-column. these are meant to control the scenes: up, down and launch scene. in the preferences you can tick on "select next scene on launch". like that you can launch you scenes on after the other with 1 key.

you guys are searching way too far ^^

it s darn simplejust click on midi and assign notes or pads to certain live scenes.thats all it takes! 

hehe yes but we didnt know how to assign a midi key to the hidden function in live to go to the next or previous scene, instead of assigning certain scenes to 1000 midi different buttons, which firefrog explained nicely ! learned something new & handy today :)
