Answer 1

You should have an event listener. Here is an example of the way you could to this:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//your logic here
this.gotoAndStop(2);
};

Answer 2

Here is an example from one of my projects which required text to be entered into blocks before proceeding, but it used if statements with buttons presses so you could modify it to suit your needs as you wish!
stop();
var names:String;
var id:String;
var supervisor:String;
namein.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT,paramChanged);
idin.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT,paramChanged);
supervisorin.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT,paramChanged);
beginbutton.enabled = false;
function paramChanged(event:TextEvent):void
{
if (namein.text != "" && idin.text != "" && supervisorin.text != "" &&
namein.length >=5 &&
idin.length >=5 &&
supervisorin.length >=5)//add your other fields here
{
beginbutton.enabled = true;
beginbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);
}
else
{
beginbutton.enabled = false;
//If something changes that means we now fail the test you will want to disable the button again
}
}
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
{
names = namein.text;
id = idin.text;
supervisor = supervisorin.text;
gotoAndPlay(15);
}
