Variables not working

[mattsky27]

I am trying to apply some script to a button so when pressed itll jump the playhead to a certain frame depending on where the playhead is at the time of the button being pressed.

This is the script but it doesnt work,

arrowup.onRelease = function() {
};
if (_global_name == "search") {
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Any ideas?

more info PLS
is a arrowup on the stage ??
is _global_name defined ???
is MovieClip on stage ??? does it have maybe a stop() on frame 1 ??
.....


trie this :
arrowup.onRelease = function() {
if (_global_name == "search") {
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}

[thankyou]

maybe this?

arrowup.onRelease = function() {
if (_global_name == "search") {
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
};
