if statements

[Manic]

I am trying to set up an if statement based on markers.

the code that I have is

if marker = "section 1 end"
then
else

on mouseenter
cursor 280
end
on mouseleave
sprite(31).member = "buttons_off_01"
sprite(39).member = "hidden"
cursor -1
end
on mousedown
go to "section 1"
end

end if

I basicaly want it to use the functionality of the image if it is not at the end of section one.

any help would be appriciated.

I can see several things wrong with that code. First of, if statements (along with any other code) must be inside a handler (i.e. on mouseenter me). You cannot have a handeler as the result of an if statement. Also, a block if statement is written like this:

if condition then
actions
else
actions
end if

So I think your code could be better written like this:

on mouseenter
if marker <> &quot;section 1 end&quot; then
cursor 280
end if
end

on mouseleave
if marker <> &quot;section 1 end&quot; then
sprite(31).member = &quot;buttons_off_01&quot;sprite(39).member = &quot;hidden&quot;
cursor -1
end if
end

on mousedown
if marker <> &quot;section 1 end&quot; then
go to &quot;section 1&quot;
end if
end
