New startup screen?

What i want to do is this: (the " " represents one frame)
"frame 1" to "frame 2" to "frame 3"
so, as an example, when i start the game, it runs frame 1, right. then, it jumps to frame 2, then it jumps to frame 3. once i get to frame 3, it replaces frame 1 as the startup frame.
TL ; DR: frame 1 is the title screen. i always start the game in frame 1. frame 2 is anything, then frame 2 brings me to frame 3. once i get to frame 3, it replaces frame 1 as the startup frame. and every time i start the game, it runs frame 3 instead.
Is there an way i can do this??

No matter what it's gonna start on frame one, thats how the engine is programmed. But, you could probably set an event in frame 1 to immediately go to frame 3 if a condition is met.

Since you want this to happen when the game starts I'd recommend this:

At the start of Frame 3, set up an event that saves an INI file with a value.

At the start of frame one set up an event that checks for said value. If said value is valid, immediately go to frame 3. If not, do nothing and stay on frame 1.

That's just programming, Fusion can't do everything for you!! This is just a couple of lines at most, it really shouldn't be a hassle to code!

In frame one.
First line of code. Go to frame 2 or whichever frame you want.

I got the "At the start of Frame 3, set up an event that saves an INI file with a value." part but what event do i use in the second part?
