**Hello,**  
Does anyone know how to change a movie clip to another movie clip, once that a directional button is clicked. In other words how to **chang** e a movie clip from a previous one that is being controlled. I know it has something to do with the **IF** function, but how can you change the current Movie Clip to a specified one. This would be really **helpful** thanks!
