gotoAndStop("introSequence", 20);

// Go to frame "hello" of the introSequence scene, and stop there

gotoAndStop("introSequence", "hello")

// Caution! This goes to the frame labeled "introSequence" in the current scene

gotoAndStop("introSequence")

// This goes to frame 1 of the introSequence scene

gotoAndStop("introSequence", 1)

Reader Exercise: Write a custom function, gotoDeltaAndStop( ), that allows the caller to

specify a relative frame number, including a negative one. For example, gotoDeltaAndStop(–5)

would jump backward by 5 frames. (Hint: You’ll need the

MovieClip._currentframe property.)

Remember to add any special code to handle the end conditions (i.e., when a relative frame

number would cause it to jump beyond the beginning or end of the current timeline).
