gotoAndPlay(2) currently executes all frame tags
from frame 1 to frame 2 (inclusive).
Tags execution likely contain placeObject and removeObject,
which sets the invalidated flag.

A possibility could be to NOT all set_invalidated from
the placer/remover but rather do a catch-all comparison
using old and current DisplayList, if not already invalidated
by something else.

This would allow sprite_instance::goto_frame to compare the
DisplayList of *before* executing any tags to the one obtained
after execution of *all* frame tags up to the target frame.

::advance would then have to do the same check.

Feel free to use a local "old" DisplayList variable for now to
avoid messing with the class member (oldDisplayList).
If it works we can analyze current use of oldDisplayList and maybe
use that .
