[F8] the trouble with true or false.

[evilgoldfish]

Hi all,
Was wondering if someone could help? I have tried every way I can (as an amateur) and have completley confused myself!
I have a button that when pressed plays movie clip foundation1_MC. inside this MC at the end is a bit of code.

foundation1_MC=true

I also have an MC with this bit of code

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if(_root.foundation1_MC=true){
		gotoAndStop("fact");

Basically I wanted it then to jump to a choice of 2 frames one if the movie clip has ended on true and one if it hasn't. And for those of you who now more than I do you can probably tell it don't work!
The reason why I wanted to do it this way was so eventually I could add more frames with more buttons almost like a multiple choice with a final scene showing the decisions that were made.
Any help would be great or point to a tutorial, I couldn't find a helpful one!
Thanks in advance

pretty much the same thing you've got, just a little stricter:

var foundation1_MC:Boolean = true;

you've got a syntax error, update to:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if(_root.foundation1_MC==true){
		gotoAndStop("fact");

or leave yourself with less room for error:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if(_root.foundation1_MC){
		gotoAndStop("fact");

I haven't exactly grasped what you're trying to accomplish here, but I have noticed that your "if(_root.foundation1_MC=true)" should be "if(_root.foundation1_MC==true)", or it won't work.

EDIT: oops, a little late. Nevermind.
