if statement

[Guest_imported]

hi all,
i am trying to create a dynamic menu. out of my mc menu pops up the submenu, which has categories you can klick on.

the problem is, if you are in category "business" for example and press it again, it keeps poping up.

i know, normally you add a stop, but tried that. this will cause my pop out animation to stop.

guess my question is.
can you add an if statement, that checks, if in another mc a certain frame is displayed, and if yes, to stop???? (sounds funny)!!!

i am just lost, and would appreciate any script that comes close ...
thanks in advance

Try...

if(otherMc._currentframe==15){
stop();
}

heyyyy,
awesome that works.thanks a million.

...one further question(everytime i add an else
statement, i get an error message, else doesnt
match if ... bla bla.

on (release) {
if(otherMc._currentframe==8){
stop();
}

} else {
_root.submenu.gotoAndPlay(3);

}

i moved things around for hours. is there an easy
answer to this also?
thanks

} in the wrong spot should be:

on (release) {
if(otherMc._currentframe==8){
stop();
} else {
_root.submenu.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}
