Here is my code:

// Play/Pause Toggle  
playPause.onRollOver = function() {  
if(this.\_currentframe == 1) this.gotoAndStop(“pauseOver”);

```
else if(this._currentframe== 20) this.gotoAndStop("playOver")

```

}

playPause.onRollOut = playPause.onReleaseOutside = function() {  
if(this.\_currentframe == 10) this.gotoAndStop(“pause”);

```
else if(this._currentframe== 30) this.gotoAndStop("play")

```

}

[COLOR=Red]playPause.onRelease = function() {  
if(this.\_currentframe == 10)  
this.gotoAndStop(“play”)  
this.\_parent.pauseit();  
[COLOR=Lime]} else if (this.\_currentframe == 20) {[/COLOR]  
this.gotoAndStop(“pause”)  
this.\_parent.unPauseit();  
}

[COLOR=Black]I don’t understand what’s wrong with the code in red. When I check it, it says I have a syntax error on line 74, which is what I’ve highlighted in green.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
