Switching scenes

[Rickets]

I know this is probably a simple function, however I am trying to navigate from one scene to another without simply going to just the next or previous. What command would I use, gotoAndPlay?

Yep. that way ull be able to select which scene u want it to switch too. Also make sure that u select the right frame at which it'll switch. if it's not a movie, dont forget to put "sto" in ur frame at next scene.

You should really use frame labels for this, especially when switching between scenes. for example if you have your action within a movie clip, then you will be unable to change the scene using something like,

_root.gotoAndPlay("scene", frame);

instead if you place frame labels on the frame you want to be able to goto you can use

_root.gotoAndPlay("framelabelname");

from any scene or clip within the movie.
