Hello,  
i have a stop on my timeline at frame 20. My button (equip) has the command to play the timeline from frame 20 on which works. I would like however for the timeine to play only the next 5 frames and then skip to frame 41, can’t figure it out. Here is my current code:

function goForward(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
gotoAndPlay(equip.currentFrame + 21);

thanks
