I have these 5 scenes (“start”, “game1”, “game2”, “game3”, “end”).

For some reason these lines of code either don’t work at all or sends you to a wrong scene and frame:

```auto
gotoAndStop("game1", 1);
gotoAndStop(2);

```

Putting \_root in front of them doesn’t work. I’m now using nextFrame() instead, but it doesn’t work all the time.
