a stupid problem is making me pull my hair out

[traden24]

I have some simple code that is not working. I have 2 clips, a green square, and a brown square. The green one starts on top of the brown, and when I click anywhere, i want it to check if the green is on top, then swap them, otherwise nothing. Here's the code:

trace(green.getDepth());
trace(brown.getDepth());

_root.onMouseDown = function() {
if(this.green.getDepth() > this.brown.getDepth){
trace("swap must happen");
this.brown.swapDepths(this.green);
}
else {
trace("brown is already on top");
}
}

the traces return that green is -16381, and that brown is -16383.
It's obvious that green is on top, so a swap must happen...but it never does..I get "brown is already on top". The greater than operator can't seem to use the integers received from .getDepth()... any ideas?

thanks in advance

Your problem is a typo.

this.green.getDepth() > this.brown.getDepth()){
