simple problem here is my code first

Intro_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click);


function Click( event:MouseEvent):void {
	gotoAndStop("what to put here?");
}

and was wondering what do i place in the 'what to put here section so it goes to the next frame instead of a specific frame?

Quick recap and safer options. asked how to move the playhead one frame forward when a button is clicked and pointed in the right direction. The simplest, most robust patterns avoid arithmetic on frame numbers and handle edge cases (last frame, scene jumps, scope). The examples below show alternatives you can drop into the timeline without repeating earlier code.

startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAdvance);

function onAdvance(e:MouseEvent):void {
    // advance one frame and stop there (safer than manually adding numbers)
    if (currentFrame < totalFrames) {
        nextFrame();
    } else {
        // reached end: optionally loop or disable the control
        startBtn.mouseEnabled = false;
    }
}

If you want the movie to continue playing from the next frame (not stop), use the play-style jump instead of advancing one frame and stopping:

navBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, jumpToScene2);

function jumpToScene2(e:MouseEvent):void {
    // go to Scene 2 frame 1 and let it play automatically
    gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");
}

Troubleshooting notes (addresses 's scene problem): make sure the target scene/frame does not itself contain a stop() action on its first frame; use frame labels instead of numeric frames for clarity; verify the button instance name exactly matches the code; watch scope (code on a nested clip needs correct target reference); and use trace(currentFrame) or the Output panel to confirm the playhead location when debugging. Using labels and gotoAndPlay("labelName") is generally more maintainable than raw numbers, especially when scenes change during editing.
