[RESOLVED] Game actioscript help

[Okami101]

Im trying to make a game 4 my dad but it doesn't work as i want it to. grr

Its supposed to go back to the beginning when you crash into a asteroid but it doesnt
heres what ive done w/ the code

Asteroid 

onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root.player_mc)) {  this._alpha = 50;  
crash = "true"; } }




frame 2

if (crash = true) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

I dont know how to monitor true/false so i dont know if it is setting the variable. But i kno that the asteroid has been hit because it fades out...
Please
help
anything would be increndilby aprecciated

if (crash == true)
Use single = when setting stuff, use double = if you comparing values, use triple = when comparing value and type

and if crash is a boolean and not a string, you can leave out the quotes. crash = true; instead of "true"

btw this seems to be AS2 and not AS3 (_alpha, _root is non existent in AS3, use alpha and root instead without the _)
