How to reload a frame if you're already on it?

I’m trying to mimick a website style design in my interactive. Let’s say I have 5 frames and each frame is a separate web page. When I click a nav button, it’ll take me to page 5. On page 5 is a movieclip wherein XX happens. At some point I want to be able to reload the entire page 5, while still on page 5. I cant do a gotoAndStop(5) command because nothing happens - it’s already there. Is there a somewhat simple/elegant way to do this?

Since I don’t have a lot of pages, the only thing I could come up with was to create a conditional and a dummy frame, so something like this:


function pageFive(){
     gotoAndStop(5);
     if(currentFrame == 5){
          gotoAndStop(10);
          }
     }

Then frame 10 would be a dummy frame that looks just like the “landing area” of frame 5, but the only code on frame 10 would be “gotoAndStop(5);”

This would reload frame 5 if you’re already on frame 5, but I’m wondering if there’s a simpler way?

TIA!
