Can anyone here make easy sense of this "go to frame" command?
Probably, if you could be more specific about the problems you are having.
The "go to frame" command works fine, but you might be running into a
syntax or logic problem.
Though I have to temper that comment--it's been a long time
The reason that this stuff is pissing me off is because I use another
authoring software called Multimedia Fusion which is hassle free as far as
going from page-to-page.
You need to look for what you're doing wrong, it's not Director's
fault. Check to see if the script channel is disabled by

frame 2 until he clicked
That suggested that running the programming would show the looping through

into the second frame for a moment, presumably if it wasn't there already.
Precisely. Perhaps my suggestion of slowing the tempo to 1 fps can
