There's a little weirdness surrounding eval statements and weakly typed

variables in flash4. We once ran into a problem where a control character

was being added to the tail end of a number causing eval inside an If

statement to perform and invalid comparison of the two numbers. The

solution was to wrap an Int() around the value before comparing. Try this

and see if your problem goes away. You might want to trace the values as

well to make sure your comparing what you think you're comparing ;)


>On (Press)

>      Set Variable: "click" = click+1

>      Set Variable: "client" = Eval ("client"&click)

>      If (click = NumberOfClients)


--->	If( Int(click) = Int(NumberOfClients) )


>            Set Property ("next", Visibility) = false

>      Else

>      End If

>End On
