You don't want to use the name of the current scene when you use gotoAndPlay() or gotoAndStop(). Try:

MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1);

Using scenes is a very bad practice. It is a remnant from the very early versions of Flash.

I replied too quickly. You are editing a symbol, not a scene. In your example "blue" is a movieClip. If that is a movieClip with frames and you have it stopped on a frame and you want it to play through its timeline, then you should be using:

blue.play();

It's difficult to tell, the timeline shows the Library name for the movieClip, but not the instance name. You need to use the instance name, without quotation marks, followed by the command play(); to play the movieClip.

In any case, don't use scenes.
