nextScene()

Description

The nextScene( ) function moves the main playhead of a movie to frame 1 of the scene following the current scene and stops the main movie timeline. The current scene is the scene from which the nextScene( ) function is invoked. It must be invoked on a scene's main timeline in order to have an effect; that is, nextScene( ) does not work inside a movie clip instance. If it is invoked from the last scene in a movie, nextScene( ) sends the playhead to frame 1 of that scene and halts movie playback.

I recommend against using scenes when working with ActionScript-intensive movies. Unlike movie clips, scenes are not represented by objects and cannot be manipulated directly by most built-in functions. Normally it's better to use labels and movie clips as pseudo-scenes in your timeline instead of using Flash's scene feature.
