I inherited a project that needs two buttons that act like the “next chapter” buttons on a dvd player. I thought the code would be simple:

```auto
on (release){

gotoAndPlay(_currentframe +20);

}

```

But all this does is bring it back to the beginning of the timeline. All I want is it to advance 20 frames on the main timeline.
