It's pretty much simple. What you need is to subscribe to the special event that fires once per frame and move the playhead once per frame according to the plan.

stop();

var Frames:Array;

// This will prevent things from overlapping
// if one of the frames on the list is the
// current one and playhead will hit here
// once again (and try to execute code).
if (Frames == null)
{
    Frames = [2,4,1,7,8,1,7];
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
}

function onFrame(e:Event):void
{
    // Get the next frame index and remove it from the list.
    var aFrame:int = Frames.shift();

    // If there are no more frames to show,
    // unsubscribe from the event.
    if (Frames.length < 1)
    {
        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
    }

    gotoAndStop(aFrame);
}
