Hey everyone,

I need some help with my if/then actions.

I am wanting to be able to use the if/then actions to do something like this:

> if [movie clip] Content1 [is at frame label] remove, goto frame 5  
> So basically, if the movie clip titled ‘Content1’ is at the frame labeled ‘remove’, it will goto frame 5 of the current scene.

What would the actionscript be for this?

Thanks,

Nick

there’s no way you can get a frame label, you’ll have to use the \_currentframe (returns the frame number). :-\

```auto
if (myMovieClip._currentframe == 29) gotoAndPlay(5);

```

or you could set a variable in the MovieClip, let’s call it \_framelabel. 🙂

at frame 29 (or whatever frame), you’d have this script:

```auto
_framelabel = "remove";

```

then you can use:

```auto
if (myMovieClip._framelabel == "remove") gotoAndPlay(5);

```

=)
