Condition on button action

[artdog]

Hopefully I will be able to explain this so someone can understand.

I am using a button to tell a movie clip to goto and play from a labelled frame.
I only want this button to do this if that movie clip is currently at a particular frame, otherwise I don't want the button to anything.

I am thinking that I can set a variable when the movie clip gets to that frame and set a condition on the button if the variable is 0 the button will not work. I have no idea how to write this in action script though.

I realize this will probably need a long explanation but after reading through quite a bit of actionscript documentation, I still can't figure out how to write this.

You could try the "if" statement. If the frame number is between 5-12 the button would function normally. Get URL billybob.com. If the frame is after 12 then you would use the else code. Else do nothing. Just leave it blank. Or change the hit state of the button.

Or like you said you could use the variable statement. This would work, but will be very difficult to do if you don't have a good understanding of action script. I have uploaded a sample variable file. Take a look at it. Hope this helped. Let me know if you need any more help. Thanks
