okies guys its really simple i want a move ti play certain frames according to a variable called 'complete' heres the code i got ...
onClipEvent (load) {
if (complete>=60) {
_root.locked2.gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
_root.locked2.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

explain some more, where you setting the var and how you setting the argument?

the code looks okay but have you tried onEnterFrame versus load.

load usually initializes variables. onEnterFrame gives the mc power.

ok ive tried it on enter of the frame , not working.. im declaring the variable on the main timeline frame of which 'locked2' appears... the code however is within the MC (locked2)...anymore ideas?
your beign great so far thx guys - Respy

if the code is within the instance of lock2 then it sounds like a pathing problem.. as well you might need to keep it on enterFrame since on load it will only check that condition once.. (on load)
if the variable "complete" is on the main timeline and the code is within lock2 the variable "complete" will not be found unless you path it to the main timeline... using either of these should work.

this._parent.complete >=60;
_root.complete >=60;


of course the enterframe depends on what you are after if you only want the condition to be checked once on load then keep it on load. Also you might consider making your code more relative as it helps if you import or move things around.
instead of
_root.lock2.gotoAndPlay(1);

try using
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
