hmm, if statement question...

[sryder]

Simple question. I have a button that set the variable for answer1 to 1 or 0 for a correct answer or incorrect answer. On the button proceed the following:


on (release) {
if (answer1=1) {
field15 = field15 + 2;
} else {
field15 = field15 ;
}
gotoAndStop (35);
}


BUT, it adds 2 to the field15 variable no matter what...

Any help would be great !

Thanks,

This is a simple but very irritating problem if you do not spot what is wrong. The if statement should look like this:

on (release) {
if (answer1==1) {
field15 = field15 + 2;
}
gotoAndStop (35);
}

Note the double equals used for the if condition, if you miss this out then strange things start to happen! Also the else part of your code is not needed- why tell the computer to make a variable what it already is?!
