Hi, I needed to make a loop for a intro splash, and since I have only programmed in php before, I tried this (to my suprise it didn’t give a syntax error):

```auto

count=0;
if (count < 5) {
	gotoAndPlay(40);
	count++;
	} else {
		if (count = 5) {
		getURL("http://www.example.com/home.php","_self");
		}
	}
trace ("This is loop nr: "+count+".");

```

But the count variable, didn’t change value, it just stayed at 1.  
So sumthing must be wrong.  
Can someone more familiar with actionscript, help me out a bit here.  
All help is appreciated.
