um.. shouldn't this be simple?

[leaf]

i don't know, why this doesn't work:
i have 2 mc, one nested inside the other.

in the parent timeline i define a variable (isevent):

isevent = "no";


and in the second mc i need to know that value of isevent:

if (_parent.isevent = "no") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndStop (1);
}


does anyone know what's wrong?
thanks

You need an extra '=' sign

if (_parent.isevent == "no") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
