hi there, im having an issue with a little interactive character im making.  
i want it so when you click him he says “quit it” which he already does, but i want it so when you click him 5 times he says "your willing-ness to touch me is somewhat concerning, my problem is; he’ll try to say both at the same.

this is the code i have on the character

on (press) {  
\_root.pokes = \_root.pokes+1;  
if (\_root.pokes == 5) {  
\_root.heath.gotoAndPlay(7);  
if (\_root.cursor\_name == 2) {  
\_root.cursor.gotoAndPlay(5);  
\_root.heath.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
}

and if i put a code like this in;

on (press) {  
\_root.pokes = \_root.pokes+1;  
if (\_root.pokes == 5) {  
\_root.heath.gotoAndPlay(7);  
} else {  
if (\_root.cursor\_name == 2) {  
\_root.cursor.gotoAndPlay(5);  
\_root.heath.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
}

i get errors like;  
Statement block must be terminated by ‘}’  
Syntax error.

so, yeah, im stumped.  
your help would be greatly appreciated.  
thanks.
