Hey. Long time tutorial-viewer, first time poster at Kirupa.

I have a question regarding jumping to certain frames within a flash project.

Is it possible in either Actionscript 2 or 3 to use:

\*on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(…?);  
}

\*on a Button \*\*within \*\*a Movie Clip to go to and play a frame on the **main timeline**?

I don’t mean going to a frame within the Movie Clip, I mean jumping **back** to a frame of the **base, main timeline**.

If any Actionscript does this, I’ll use it.

Sorry if it’s a FAQ or nooby question. Been wondering about this for ages.😑
