Hello Geniuses

I’m having some trouble with a movie clip button. Basically I have a button that when you click it it sends you to another frame on the root timeline. This all works fine, however I want the button to stay in it’s transformed state whilst you are in the specific root timeline frame, therefore signifying where you are on the site. Here’s the code I have used -

stop();  
this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(rewind == true){  
prevFrame();  
}  
}

this.onRollOver = function(){  
rewind = false;  
play();  
}

this.onRollOut = function(){  
rewind = true;  
}

I cannot figure out how to code the next bit. I think I need to use an if/ else statement but am not sure howm I have read loads of posts but cannot translate them to my needs. I have had a guess at something like this (without success -

this.if(\_root 19 == true){  
\_parent.gotoAndStop(4);  
}

Any advice would be much appreciated!
