What is the gotoAndPlay action?

The gotoAndPlay action sends the playhead directly to the specified frame of the specified scene and then executes a play action. When no scene is specified, the playhead moves to the specified frame of the current scene.

The syntax of using the gotoAndPlay action is as follows:

gotoAndPlay(scene, frame);

Where scene is a string that specifies the name of the scene where a user wants to go. It is optional to specify a scene.

Frame is a number of the frame to which a user wants to go. It also can be a string that represents the frame label.

For example:

The following code is assigned to a button:

on (release){
gotoAndPlay(53);
}

The above code sends the playhead to the Frame 53 in the current scene, and plays the movie from that frame when a user releases the button.
