i was wondering if anyone could help me with acquiring the current frame number of a movie.

the code i’m trying to write goes something like this:

currentframe = movie.currentframe; // here’s where the problem is  
if (currentframe == 5)  
{  
gotoAndPlay(25);  
}  
else if (currentframe == 6)  
{  
gotoAndPlay(26);  
}  
else  
{  
gotoAndPlay(27);  
}

i’ve been searching all over the net for a solution. i can’t figure out how to give “currentframe” the number value of the current frame its in.
