If and else statements HELP

[Neutronmax]

my script:

if (coins == 0) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

and it doesn't work.
The script is on a Movie Clip and the variable "coins" appear on the game like "Coins: <coins>". I don't know if it changes something, but just to you guys know. So, whats the problem?

Umm...could you post your code or the .fla or something? You haven't really provided a lot of information to go off of.

a wild guess, try if(_parent.Coins==0)
since the if is IN a movieclip and the variable is declared ON the main timeline (the _parent of the movieclip).
Also Coins and coins are 2 different variables. make sure you spelled it right.

Okey... I changed not the variable to " Coins ".
I tried what ZippyDee said but it didn't work or I did something wrong.
I uploaded the map so you guys can help me cuz i'm tired of the problem.
Thank you.
