Hi,

sorry for my many posts, I am putting a project together and it is throwing many problems at me and I want to learn how to fix it.

My code is so simple, and i’m sure there might be a better way to do it also, I am open to suggestions. I just have a button and a movie clip (MenuUp) and i want the button to be able to make the movie clip jump to different frames…

on (release) {  
if (\_root.MenuUp=0) {  
MenuPopup.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.MenuUp = 1;  
} else {  
MenuPopup.gotoAndStop(2);  
\_root.MenuUp = 0;  
}  
}

it’d driving me mad, tracing to the output window will only give me ‘0’ i can never get it to ‘1’.

Matt.
