Hey, I have seen how it is possible to use actionscript so that a certain action is played if a particular frame is playing: so that if a button is clicked in frame 7, a certain action happens, if the button is clicked in any other frame, something else happens. Well I’d like to do that for an mc: so that if the current frame of an mc = e.g. 7 then perform a particular action, if not, play a different action. Thanks to anyone who has a clue what I am talking about 😉

on (release) {  
if (this.\_currentframe == 7) {

//some other code
