Hi there,  
I was wondering…is there a way with AS to really skip frames.  
Cause I realized if I use the gotoAnd… action to get to a labeled frame flash plays the timeline all the way to get to the labelFrame.  
So if i have another labelFrame before with a stop action…the timeline stops there.

example:  
I have 2 btns with a gotoAndPlay action on frame 4 in a MC…adressing the mainTimeline  
they should bring the playhead once to a label called “NL” and the other “EN”…  
the NL label is before the EN label on the timeline…

But if I wanna go to the EN label and there is a stop(); on the NL frame…then the playhead doesnt get to the EN label…at least with me…

I hope you get the point…

just very curious…I am not the AS-wizard…so sometimes its a drag to figure all that out…

I found a solution to this problem…but I guess its not the way its done…so i was wondering if one of you AS gurus have a better solution

cheers
