Hi,

If I understand your question correctly, I think that the property you looking for is called firstFrame. If you want to display frame 5 of the internal timeline of a symbol, its instance on the stage should be graphic.

Then, you can select the instance and execute the following code:

 

fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].firstFrame = 4;

 

 

This will set the displayed frame of the selected instance at the current keyframe to 5.

    As an additional advice:
    You can open your History Panel, right click on it and choose:
    View > Javascript in Panel.
    In this way, you'll see all the corresponding JSFL statements when you make changes via the UI.

    Also, here is the complete (almost) JSFL documentation.

    layer.frames is read-only so you can't add/remove frames to a layer. you can insert and remove frames from a timeline.

    The third layer is the symbol，Can you control it to display the fifth frame of a single frame?

    i'm not sure what you've done, but you can convert a layer to a symbol (specifically a movieclip) and then you can manipulate that (and every other) moveiclip symbol's timeline by using timeline.cutFrames() and timeline.insertFrames()
