You could put a _Label_ on the first frame of the animation you want it to jump to.  
Then on the button put _goto and play_. Under TYPE choose _Frame Label_.

Try this;

//button actions  
on(release){  
gotoAndStop(your frame No. here);  
}

Whatever you want to happen should go between the curly brackets.
