[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

baisically i need that when this happens:  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].\_x\<[COLOR=#000080]570[/COLOR] || [COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].\_x\>[COLOR=#000080]750[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]playIn[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **\_global** [/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]CurrentMenu[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

to do something like this:  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].\_x\<[COLOR=#000080]570[/COLOR] || [COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].\_x\>[COLOR=#000080]750[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]playIn[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **\_global** [/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]CurrentMenu[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onPress[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]Mic[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]gotoAndPlay[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

it works well if i apply this code once, but if i try to do something like this:  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].\_x\<[COLOR=#000080]570[/COLOR] || [COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].\_x\>[COLOR=#000080]750[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]playIn[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **\_global** [/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]CurrentMenu[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onPress[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]Mc1[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]gotoAndPlay[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];

[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onPress[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000] **\_global** [/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]CurrentMenu[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]4[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onPress[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
