When I put this code in the actionscript of a button:

on (release) {  
mc.gotoAndPlay(92);  
if (mc.\_currentframe=179)  
mc2.gotoAndPlay(“Scene 2”, 93);  
}

he should play and if he is at frame 179 he should go to scene 2 frame 93. But it doesn’t work. Does somebody know what I did wrong…???

Heyya,

try:  
if (mc.\_currentframe==179) …

instead of;  
if (mc.\_currentframe=179) …
