gotoAndStop VS. gotoAndPlay

Using this code for a button. If I want it to go to a later frame and play
from that frame on, how should I change th code? Thanks!



btnproducts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick2);

function buttonClick2(event:MouseEvent):void{

gotoAndStop(54);

};

gotoAndStop() means, literally, go to the frame designated and stop
there. On the other hand, gotoAndPlay() means, go to the frame disignated
and play from there.

What you've shown means the playhead will go to frame 54 and stop. If
you wanted the playhead to skip to frame 54 and keep rolling, you would
replace gotoAndStop(54) with gotoAndPlay(54).
