I’m having problems trying to understand if else statements. I’m trying to create a simple transitions in my movie to navigate to different scenes using buttons:

on (release) {  
if destination = “about”;  
gotoAndPlay(“transition”);  
} else {  
destination = “contact”  
gotoAndPlay(“transition2”);  
}

Can anyone help me?
