Controlling movie playback

The following are basic actions that let you control the playhead in the Timeline and load a new Web page into a browser window:

| The `goto` action jumps to a frame or scene. See Jumping to a frame or scene.
| The `play` and `stop` actions play and stop movies. See Playing and stopping movies.
| The `getURL` action jumps to a different URL. See Jumping to a different URL.

These topics explain the simplest way to use the Actions panel in normal mode to assign these actions to frames, buttons, and movie clips in your document.
