Hi all

would anyone beable to direct me to a simple technote on how to play the timeline with a simple button

example:  
in AS2 you could attached script to button something like

on MouseEvent {  
gotoandplay(6);  
}

thats all I am trying to do, but in AS3 how do I simply get a button when clicked to go to a frame and play. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3617/361341c146e0850c.gif)
