Hi ppl

I have another problem flash mx  
i have three MC’s 1,2,3 and a button for each of them, on pressing each button it makes the apropriate MC play half way then stop at a frame with a stop action.

BUT what i want is to use a if statment somthing like this

script is on MC1 button

tell MC1 to play ();  
if MC2 is at frame xx  
tell it to play ();

eles do nothing

would be a big help

for “xx” must a frame number be specified? If not, then would it mean that if any frame is playing, then do nothing?

:nerd:
