Help! Am I even close here? I am not sure if I even have a clue about conditionals. I thought I did, but does my scripting below make any sense? I am soooooo stuck.

I want the rollover to do different things, based on the if statement, if the variable is set to Open or Closed or whatever in the movieclip.

On Rollover
If (Submenus/:SubmenuStatus eq "Open")
Begin Tell Target ("Submenus")
Go to Next Frame
End Tell Target
End If (Submenus/:SubmenuStatus eq "Closed")
Begin Tell Target ("Submenus")
Go to and Stop (1)
End Tell Target
Else If
End On

in the movieclip "Submenus", the keyframes have different frame scripts accordingly that say:

Set Variable: "SubmenuStatus" = "Open"

or other frames say:

Set Variable: "SubmenuStatus" = "Closed"

Will this reset the variable SubmenuStatus to a new value as I intended? Can that happen, or can a Variable only be set once?

Will Flash read the movieclip path and read the variable okay?

If I change "eq" to "=", then the tell target runs regardless. (??)
