if statement???

[apache1313]

Sorry if I am asking to many questions at once- I am having trouble with my if statement. It should only work when it is on 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,,9,10 but it also works when men is on frame 23 -Where did I mess up.

on (press) {
if (_root.men._currentframe == 1||2||3||4||5||6||7||8||9||10 ) {
_root.men.bottom = bottom[1];
_root.men.top = top[1];
_root.men.gotoAndPlay(23);
_root.men.port.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

you'd have to say:
if (_root.men._currentframe == 1||_root.men._currentframe == 2 etc...

I'd suggest:
if (_root.men._currentframe <=10)

The way you have it coded, you are asking if the MC "men"'s timeline is on frame 23. I guess that is what you want, but the || is wrong...well, the context and idea are correct, but the way it is written it is not sure what to do after the first statement. Basically, in lamens terms, you are asking:

if( the current frame of the MC called 'man' is on frame 1 || sdfsf || sdfsdf || sdfsdf

The sfdsdf is just what it is...incoherent and unrecognizable. If you want the || to work, you have to do the _currentframe matter one at a time:

code:

---

if(_root.men._currentframe==1 || _root.men._currentframe==2 ||...){

//actions

}

---

But this takes a lot of time. So, you could do this instead:

code:

---

if(_root.men._currentframe < 11){

//actions

}

---

-edit-
Doh..I hate it when you type somethin and someone else sneeks one in...oh well. Here is what gparis said.
