how would i write a frame script to check if a button has been pressed ?

i tried this and it doesnt work

var release = true // pressed  
if (rwnd\_btn=release)  
{movieHolder\_mc.gotoAndPlay(movieHolder\_mc.\_currentframe);}

i know its gotta be in my var release = true

**how do i tell it that ‘true’ really means pressed ?**
