</div>

when I type in this code -

\_parent.secondMenu.onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
if(\_parent.secondMenu.onMyButton = false){  
this.previousFrame();  
this.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
}

I keep getting this error msg -

Symbol=15-MENU, Layer=port\_sub, Frame=1: Line 1: Expected a field name after ‘.’ operator.  
\_parent.secondMenu.onClipEvent(enterFrame){

What is a field name? I don’t know whats wrong in this code…

hmmm, now it says it needs a ;

Symbol=15-MENU, Layer=port\_sub, Frame=1: Line 1: ‘;’ expected  
\_parent.secondMenu.onEnterFrame){

there is no need for a ; in here is there?

this is what it actually says to this

\_parent.secondMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if(this.onMyButton = false){  
this.previousFrame();  
this.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
}

Symbol=15-MENU, Layer=port\_sub, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler  
\_parent.secondMenu.onEnterFrame = function() {
