You are loading an external swf and then you want to go to a specific frame of that swf?

If so - you have to use the preloader code (get bytes loaded/get bytes total, etc.) to make sure the external swf is completely loaded. Once it is you just use gotoAndPlay(frameNumber) or gotoAndStop(frameNumber).
