FLASH: HELP! Variable syntax

[Michael Galvin]

Hi


I've found the answer to this before, but the archive isn't yet up to date, so I wonder if someone can help me out again.  


I have 2 buttons: the action of the first is:


On (Release)

      Set Variable: nextStage = "1"

      Go to and Play ("Getout")

End On


The action on the second is:


On (Release)

      Set Variable: nextStage = "2"

      Go to and Play ("Getout")

End On


At the end of the section labelled with "Getout", I have:


If (nextStage eq "1")

      Go to and Play ("AllThe")

Else If (nextStage = "2")

      Go to and Play ("links")

Else

      Stop

End If


"Getout" is called as normal, but no matter what I try as the final action, the next part ("AllThe" or "links") is not played.  It always stops.


I've tried:


if ("nextStage" = "1")

if (nextStage = 1)

if (nextStage eq "1")


etc etc etc.


Please help.

Thanks

Michael
