Really simple IF now working :(

[your.syndrome]

Right,

I have coded a button so that when it get's pressed it defines a variable and then an if function to tell me if it works?

my_button.onPress = function() {
      _root.clicked = true;
}

if (clicked == true;) {
      trace("clicked is true");
} 

But as soon as the movie is exported it gives me the trace without the button being pressed?

Take the semicolon out of the if statement.

if (clicked == true) {

Yeah it was just a typo, I don't have the source .fla so i just typed it in...

[Upchurch]

okay, is clicked declared anywhere outside of the code you gave here and, if so, is it ever modified somehow that it might be shown as true?

My guess is that the button hit-check is not inside _any_ function that's been checked... try the code below with and without the "this.onEnterFrame = function () {" and of course the trailing "}" to see the "problem"

var clicked:Boolean = false;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
my_button.onPress = function() {
      clicked = true;
	  trace("clicked:" +clicked+ " YEAH");
}

if (!clicked) {
      trace("clicked:" +clicked+ " YEAH");
} 
}
