Hi!

I get this error message when trying to compile my scripts:  
**Assets/MainMenu.cs(53,36): error CS0122: `SceneFadeIn.EndScene()’ is inaccessible due to its protection level**

Some of my code in MainMenu.cs:

```auto
public SceneFadeIn sceneFader;

........

void DoMainMenu(int windowID)
{
		if(GUILayout.Button("New Game"))
		{
			sceneFader.EndScene();
		}
}

```

Nothing should be wrong with this code since I have done similiar tasks before… So, how do I change the “protection level” of a script??

The function “EndScene” in the class “SceneFadeIn” is probably private or protected. It needs to be public if you like to access it from outside of the own class.

```auto
public SceneFadeIn: MonoBehaviour {
    public void EndScene()
    {
        //your code
    }
}

```
