Hello again,

Supposing you have an movieclip nested on your main stage and you want that clip to move to a particular frame when a button is clicked, and if it has already moved to that specified frame, it will just PAUSE.

I was thinking of this:

* * *

if myClip = frame 5  
then gotoAndPlay(“label”);  
else  
gotoAndStop(currentFrame);

* * *

I tried to make the script but I get errors :). I’ve been looking for a TUT here at Kirupa but didn’t found one so far.

Thanks
