You can’t play scenes from within a movie clip, you need frame labels.

But since everything here resides in 1 scene (good thing), why don’t you just use \_root to get back to the main timeline?

[AS]on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(2);  
}[/AS]

Example for getting to frame 2 on the main timeline.
