GotoAndplay from the instance on stage to MovieClip in Library

Question

Hi
I am trying to learn ActionScript 3. I have a MovieClip called Ship in the library and have made class of it called ship. The Ship movieClip glows from Frame 6 to indicate when it crashes into an asteroid.
The myShipMovieClip child is controlled by arrow keys and asteroid approaches. The hitTest works but I can’t get the ship to glow i.e. from the timeline go to the Ship MovieCli in the library and go to frame 6 to start it to glow. I have managed to do this in ActionScript 2 but have tried for the last few days to try and do it in AS3.
Please can anyone give me any guidance ?
here is my code :
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myShipMovieClip:MovieClip = new ship();
addChild(myShipMovieClip);
myShipMovieClip.x =40;
myShipMovieClip.y =210;
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new asteroid();
addChild(myMovieClip);
myMovieClip.x =500;
myMovieClip.y =210;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,shipgo);
function shipgo(e:Event):void
myMovieClip.x--;
var key_left:Boolean = false;
var key_right:Boolean = false;
var key_up:Boolean = false;
var key_down:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,KeyUp);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,Main);
function Main(event:Event)
                CheckKeys();
function KeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent){
                if(event.keyCode == 37){                            
                                key_left = true;
                if(event.keyCode == 39){                            
                                key_right = true;
                if(event.keyCode == 38){                            
                                key_up = true;
                if(event.keyCode == 40){                            
                                key_down = true;
function KeyUp(event:KeyboardEvent){
                if(event.keyCode == 37){                            
                                key_left = false;
                if(event.keyCode == 39){                            
                                key_right = false;
                if(event.keyCode == 38){                            
                                key_up = false;
                if(event.keyCode == 40){                            
                                key_down = false;
function CheckKeys()
                if(key_left){
                                myShipMovieClip.x -= 5;
                if(key_right){
                                myShipMovieClip.x += 5;
                if(key_up){
                                myShipMovieClip.y -= 5;
                if(key_down){
                                myShipMovieClip.y += 5;
myMovieClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,shipHit);
function shipHit(event:Event):void
                if(myMovieClip.hitTestObject(myShipMovieClip))
                this.removeChild(myMovieClip);
                myMovieClip.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,shipHit);
                myShipMovieClip.Ship.gotoAndPlay(6)
                else
