Hi, I need some help finishing up my flash project. I have been trying for the last 2 days to write and if else statement that will do the following:

- if they click on the \_root.m\<\>1 it will go to [adobe.com](http://adobe.com) if they click on \_root.m\<\>2 they will go to [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com).

-I have 6 \_root.m 's

```auto
on (release) {
 if (_root.m<>1) {
getURL("http://www.adobe.com","_self");
 }
 else if (_root.m<>2) {
  getURL("http://www.google.com","_self");
}
}

```

When I test it the url and it opens 2 windows no matter what one is clicked!?!  
Can you please help.
