Need some major help with storyboard controls

[Dragonboostor]

Hi there. I have recently been developing a small platform game, and for the game I have created a menu screen. I created an event saying "Upon spacebar pressed, jump to frame 2" (which is the first level for the game)
However, there's a problem. It doesn't work. Like... at all. No matter what I do, in fact, I can't make ANYTHING under the "Storyboard controls" section of the events work except for "end application". I've tried to make it go to the "next frame", but all that does is TOTALLY CLOSE the application. I am at a loss and almost in freaking tears at this point, so any help would be appreciated.

I've heard about this problem frequently lately,
from what I can tell there are two kind of situations:

1) "jump to frame" doesn't work when you "test" your application, hitting "run frame" F7 / "run application" F8
BUT works correctly when you build your application

2) "jump to frame" doesn't work at all

second one seems to be much less frequently however,
hope you are among 1s!
Does it work if you build your app?

PS. does "next frame" closes the application when you test a "single frame" (F7)?
If so it's the correct behaviour, since you are testing a single frame and can't access other ones
you should test "application" (F8) to get "next/previous frame" working
