I suggest not using Scenes but nevertheless you can call a frame in a

Scene by either of two ways.


On (Release)

  Tell Target     /     (or level0)

     Go to and Play   Label: LabelB

  End Tell Target

End On 


The Target can either be / or _level0 (../ won't work across Scenes).

You can use a Label as long as the same Label is not used previously in

the Movie or

you can use the total linear frame count of the movie.

In other words if frame 1 has 20 frames and you want to Target frame 10

of Scene 2 then you would use frmae 30 in the Go to.

Obviously Labels are easier.
