[F8] Simple script issue

[TonyScarface]

on(release){
	if(_root.system.command = "/openfile/v2-rocket"){
		v2._visible = true;
	} else {
		_root.system.command = "/openfile/WrongCommand";
		v2._visible = false;
	}
}

Anyone see an error with this script?
It seems to be ignoring the if command, and makes "v2" visible if the if command is correct or not.

It's the old double equals trick ("==" vs. "=");

You need to do this:

on(release){
    if(_root.system.command == "/openfile/v2-rocket"){
        v2._visible = true;
    } else {
        _root.system.command = "/openfile/WrongCommand";
        v2._visible = false;
    }
} 

By using a single equals sign you are setting the variable to the value, not comparing it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply =)
The thing is, first I tried using "==" then just "=".
When I use "==", the button doesn't reply at all.
When I use "=" the button reacts, but it reacts no matter if the if command is correct or wrong.
I've always used "==" , and this have never been an issue.

Any advice?

add a trace to see if your logic/path is correct -

on(release){
trace(_root.system.command);
}

That's the response I got :S
The thing is, ive got the same problem with all the if commands im using :S

[a_modified_dog]

and command is a dynamic textfield ?
is this the variable name or the instance name ?
make it the instance name only.


on(release){
trace(_root.system.command.text); // output = ?
}

Aaaah... The one thing I didn't test was .text :P
Thanks alot mate
