Might be an easy question… but I’m kinda stuck here ☹

Is it possible to play and stop a number of frames later, without using stop() in the frames? Like when I click a button frame 20 will start playing and it stops 30 frames later, all defined by the actions of the button…

Please help me out here ☹
