FLASH: variable syntax frustration...

[Deanna Doelitzsch]

I'm a beginner, but this even seems easy to me...


I'm in a movie clip and I have an actions layer.  I place a keyframe in say 

frame 5 or something and another one in 20.  The action that I put in frame 

5 says exactly--


Set Variable: "xyz" = "3"


Now the action that I put in frame 20 is exactly--


If ("xyz" = "2")

  Stop

End if


Result:  The playbackhead stops


BUT


If I write this--


If ("xyz" <> "3")

  Stop

Else

  Play

End If


...it keeps playing



Why does this work and the first one did not?



Thank you in advance for saving my sanity...

Deanna
