okay so i found out a bit more about this, but I am still having issues about creating a "gotonextframe" when a key is pressed
right now i'm just wanting the timeline to go to the next frame in the timeline.
so if it's on frame 1, I want to press RIGHT arrow button and it advances to frame 2 and if you press LEFT arrow button it will go back by 1 frame.
*URL i'm using for reference...
