If/else problems [renamed]

lo all. im having trouble with a menu im workin on.
ages ago i learned how to use if statments to control a menu system like this one, but i’ve lost all my source files and cant remember much of the script, i remember settin variables on the buttons then usin if/else/else if actions to target frames (if button pressed = button 1 goto and play etc…) if you got 5 mins to look at the fla you shud see what im trying to do…basic i know…im just a noob. also i think i learned it in v5, the actions may have changed in v6 /v7. if anybody gets what i mean from this (vague) post and knows of any nice tutes please please let me know!
any help greatly appreciated!!
