FLASH: Problem with Variables

[Kevin Huisman]

I'm building a database driven flash movie, and I'm having some problems 

with variables, as this is completely new to me..


I'm trying to display grapics based on information returned from a 

Filemaker Pro database.


If my variable is an integer, I can get the correct graphic to appear, 

but if the variable is a word (for example, "Create!" is one of my 

variables) my if/else statements don't work correctly.


It will treat the first if statement as true (even if it is false) and 

display that graphic...  Of course, it doesn't get to the correct else if 

statement.


If I use mulitple if statements, it will display the last if statement's 

graphic, treating each if statement as true..



This is a sample of my code:


If (theme="Stop Go")

      Begin Tell Target ("/theme")

            Go to and Stop (5)

      End Tell Target

Else If (theme="Create!")

      Begin Tell Target ("/theme")


            Go to and Stop (2)

      End Tell Target

End If



Thanks for your help,


Kevin Huisman
