Try not breaking up the if structure... the opening bracket needs to

immediately follow the testing clause:


  if (testval == true) {

    // works fine

    trace ("parsers like the expected");

  }



TIP: If you're scripting in Expert Mode and something doesn't do what you

expect, try temporarily toggling over to Normal Mode and see if you get

errors flagged, or watch out the interpreter tries to understand the

instructions.
