Hey, I’m new to flash, my question is:  
If I got 2 tags, for this sample, they’ll be “\_over” and “\_out” which are used for a button that has a motion of color tint.  
Now, lets say I start with gotoAndPlay("\_over"), then the button turns from one color to another, then I trigger the gotoAndPlay("\_out") and the button changes back to it’s original color.  
My problem is when I trigger the gotoAndPlay("\_out") while gotoAndPlay("\_over") was playing, so I was wondering if you can somehow get the frame being played by the “\_over” tagged frame and relate it to the gotoAndPlay(…) function.
