Why don't you just apply two actions one to apply the Go to Action to

highlight the button and a secnd Tell Target to go to the correct frame

of the timeline (use labels). The / refers to the main timeline and Left

is the label on the main timeline to go to.


Begin Tell Target ("/")

      Go to and Stop ("Left")

End Tell Target


If you need to assign a variable set Button to R, L, T and B in your

buttons as below for L:


Set Variable: "Button" = "L"


Then check the state of the variable Button like (Only 2 are shown):


If (Button eq "L")

      Go to and Stop ("Left")

Else If (Button eq "R")

      Go to and Stop ("Right")

End If
