i dont think you can do that if your "start" label exceeds 1 frame. My suggestion is to add another layer with single blank keyframe cue points and label these "start" etc or whatever you want. Then use:

if(mc._currentframe == "labelName"){
//perform actions
}

Hi there,
I figured out the if statement, but what if I want also the reverse effect?
But let me explain a bit more : I have a mc with an 'in' and an 'out' animation. The frames are labeled "in", "out" and "full". "full" is where the mc is supposed to stop, between "in" and "out". And I would like my invisible button, on release, to play my mc's "in" if the current frame is not "full", and to play my mc's "out" if the current frame is "full".

here's the bit of code I wrote, seems not to work.

inv1_btn.onRelease = function()
{
    if (tiroir1_mc.currentFrame != "full")
    {
        tiroir1_mc.gotoAndPlay("in");
    }
    if (tiroir1_mc.currentFrame == "full")
    {
        tiroir1_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");
    }
};

any idea?

First with AS2.0 it's _currentframe not currentFrame.

Second, again with AS2.0, you can't check the current frame's label in that manner... You would need to store each frame's label in a variable, and with your if statement check that variable's value...
