Hi everyone.

Before I start, let me say that I tried searching for this, and I didnt come up with any results that helped me.

Ok.

I currently have a button that plays a movie clip when clicked. the code looks like this:

```php

on (release) {
    tellTarget ("lava") {
        gotoAndPlay(2);
    }
}

```

simple enough.

Now, when the user clicks on this same button again (while the movie clip is currently playing) I want the movieclip to switch to a different one.

How might I go about doing this?

ok… you could try something like this:

```auto
on (release) {
if (lava._currentframe != 1) theOtherMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(2);
else lava.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

```
