This might sound like a stupid question, however i can not remember how to get this if else statement to work correctly and would like some help.

what i want to do is from the start, check the current frame if it is the home frame then it goto and play frame 2 else go to frame 3.

to give you an idea this is what i have :

if current frame = home then gotoandplay(“about”) else gotoandplay(“home”) .

if this makes any sense to anyone.

thx
