You realize that the "if" statement here is not set up right. You need to

use double equals (==) if you are comparing two values. This is new in Flash

5 ActionScript, and common with other scripting languages like JavaScript. 


What's happening here is that by using a single equals, you're declaring

"dupe" to be equal to 1. This statement is always true, so this might

explain your infinite loop.
