if (this statement is true) {
do this stuff here ;
} else {
do this stuff here;
}

in you case set up a boolean value to determine if it is open or not
var myToggle:Boolean = true;
if (myToggle) {
do this;
myToggle = false;
} else {
do this
myToggle = true;
}

on(release){
if(closed = !closed){ // closed is here a variable...
_level0.your_mc.gotoAndStop("close");
}else{
_level0.your_mc.gotoAndStop("open");
}
}
