Variables

[cheeseamaul]

Hi,

I´m just starting to learn the basics of programming, but it seems my set variable actions are just being ignored in the movie. In the first frame I put this actionscript

bluebloc = "1";

In the 5th I put this

if (bluebloc = 1) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
if (bluebloc = 2) {
gotoAndPlay(8);
}

Then I put a button with a set variable actionscript in it like this

on (release) {
bluebloc = "2";
}

N matter how much I change things round, the flash movie just ignores all the variable, does anyone know why?

code:

---

bluebloc = "1";

---

means you set bluebloc to a string "1", not to a number (which would be without quotes )

code:

---

if (bluebloc = 1) {

---

here you set bluebloc to 1 instead of comparing it's value with 1 which would be :

code:

---

if (bluebloc==1) 

---

but go on since we learn only from mistakes
