Is there a command that will restart the entire .swf as if someone just opened it?

For instance:

```php

thisbtn.onRelease = function () {
        reset myself
}

```

I’ve tried doing it where it just goes back to Frame1 but it retains information from Frame2 and the buttons do not reset to their original position.
