I am completely new to AS3 and have spent the last few years learning AS2. My question is simple and I apologize if it has been asked before.

I just need to create a simple button that will let me go from frame 1 to frame 2 and stop. I used to do it using movie clips in AS2 but that is not working in AS3. Again I apologize for the simplicity of this request.
