do some stuff if button is clicked

[s0cket]

I know this is really basic, but I need to know how to do it in AS 2. In other languages I would write something like:

if (button.ispressed)
{
do some stuff;
}

But I don't know how to do it in AS properly.(I need it exactly with if statement, not button.onrelease)

In AS 2.0


in your main frame (I favor this style of code more, it has less limit to capabilities):

button.onPress = function() {
//do some stuff
}


or inside the button (this style of code is used by beginners to all coding, not just beginners to Flash, since you have coding experience I suggest you learn to code on frames rather than inside of things.. it lets you keep track of everything in one spot.):

on (press) {
//do some stuff
}


or inside a movie clip (same style as inside a button):

onClipEvent (press) {
//do some stuff
}

thanks for the answer,and the tip :)

EDIT: still not exactly what I was looking for :/

ah, dammit.I thought I will be able to figure it out myself but I just can't. So I got this piece of code:
if (Key.isDown(_root.p1r) || Key.isDown(_root.p1rCase))
{
and I need to change it so instead of checking keyboard keys it checks if button in flash is pressed. How do I do that?The problem is that function doesn't start there and doesn't end after } it keeps on going with if's.

Uh..after some time I finally figured how to do equivalent of this in flash. Anyway, somewhere(probably in the layer your buttons are) write this:
button1variable = 0;

button1.onPress = function() {
button1variable = 1;
}

button1.onRelease = function() {
button1variable = 0;
}
now when you want to check if button is pressed somewhere in the script write:

if(button1variable == 1)
{
//stuff goes here
}
