Hi, I’m new to the forums and kind of new to actionscript. I need to know how to make a button called _Textchange_ that detects if the movie clip _Meditext_ is playing, and if it is then \*largetext \*will start playing and _Meditext_ will stop. But if it isn’t playing, then nothing happens.

I tried this previously, but it didn’t work for me.
