I’m having trouble with this. Never done it before and I’m just trying to learn.

I have this statement:  
if(zero\_mc.\_currentframe == “pause”){  
zero\_mc.gotoAndPlay(“out”);  
}

Pause is a frame lable on frame 16 and the “out” frame lable is on frame 17.

Can I not use frame lables?

The above may make no sence and I’m sorry about that. I have attached my test file to try and clearify what I’m trying to do. I want the content (the cirlces) to animate off the screen if the other content is selected.

Any help would be wonderful…thanks
