flash actionscript: Use the gotoAndStop(frame number): instead of play.

The playhead will stop on the disignated frame, and you won't need a stop
action on it.

Hello--I am an architecture student and I am having problems with my Flash
website. I have uploaded my half-done website on
http://ilocker.bsu.edu/users/msgoyak/WORLD_SHARED/

My animations end on frame 311, where I have five buttons linking to different
frames (The Resume button links to 312 and the About Me button links to 313
using
on (release) {gotoAndPlay(frame number);

}
I also have "back" buttons on 312 and 313 which link back to 311. All three
frames have the stop command applied.
My problem: Whenever I publish and try to click on Resume or About Me, it will
only play to 312 due to the stop command, thereby not allowing me to get to the
About Me frame (313). I have tried taking away the stop command but then when I
click on the About Me button the timeline plays through 312 to get to 313 and
you can actually see it flash through on-screen. I just want ithese buttons to
jump to their respective frames and stop, without seeing anything in-between or
stopping where it shouldn't. Is there a specific actions script that needs to
be applied or would it be easier to create new flash documents for each link?

Hopefully someone can help m after viewing the website itself.
I have version 7 MX 2004.
Thank you if you can provide any feedback!!!!!! Hopefully this frustration
thing can be corrected.

if your button is a movieclip button, using _root is necessary or you're
referencing the movieclip button's timeline.

if your button is a true button you may still have a problem if you're using
scenes and you change the order of your scenes.
