Since this button is on the movie clip timeline, not the main timeline, you 

must use TellTarget:


On (press)

         TellTarget (target: /)

                 Go to and Play (55)

         End TellTarget

End On


Also I would advise you to use frame labels instead of numbers. It will be 

less confusing, especially if you add or delete frames from the timeline. 

Use labels that start with an alpha (not numeric) character. In the future, 

try to avoid using scenes as they make TellTarget, use of movie clips, and 

sound, problematic.
