FLASH: How do I check a variable in an If/else statement

[John Graham]

I'm still plugging away with these darn variables.  I am trying to have a

button tell a swf to run only if a variable in _level0 is not something.

See below,


On (Release)

      Comment: THE PROBLEM IS HERE

      If ("_level0:copy" = "products/design.swf")

            Stop

      Else

           Set Variable: "_level0:copy" = "products/design.swf"

            Load Movie (_level0:copy, 25)

      End If

End On


And it doesn't work, here are some of the other way's I've tried it.



If (_level0:copy = "products/design.swf")

If (_level0:copy = products/design.swf)

If (Eval (_level0:copy) = "products/design.swf")

If (Eval (_level0:copy) = products/design.swf)


My apologies for the frequent variable questions, is there any recommended

online reading about them that stands out?  I've been to most of the

Tutorial sites in general.  I am going to go purchase the Flash Bible, and

Flash 4 book, the one that Branden Hall contributed to.


Thanks.
