Basic Button question

OK this is incredibly annoying. I just got back into flash (I used to use MX) and I cant even get the ■■■■ button to go to a frame on the timeline. I’ve tried gotoandplay and this -

stop();
bio_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop(100);
}

which I found in a tutorial and neither work.

I tried both 100 and “biography” which is the name of the frame. NEITHER work.

bio_btn is what I called the button instance

Please help. This is ridiculous.

thanks
