Any help would be appreciated! This is on a button. The first part works, but then when I press the button when the currentmovie is “section3”, nothing happens. is it not ok to write an if/else statement with two “elses”? The second “else” doesnt seem to work…?? :ninja:

on (release) {  
gotoAndStop(“end”);  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “section4”;  
container.loadMovie(“section4.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie == “section2b”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe\>=container.midframe) {  
gotoAndStop(“profileplay”);  
\_root.currMovie = “section4”;  
container.play();  
} else if (\_root.currMovie == “section3”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe\>=container.midframe) {  
gotoAndStop(“portplay”);  
\_root.currMovie = “section4”;  
container.play();  
}  
}  
}  
}
