Everytime I see a script with the ‘if’ condition, it’s closed off with ‘End If’ (in tutorials), but I can’t seem to find anyway to make this happen. Can somebody help me out? It seems my movies all too frequently don’t work because of this little annoying problem. Thanks.

instead of End If use this
```auto
if (x==y) {
_root.instance.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
```
I think the End If was removed from Flash in an earlier version. In case yoiu can’t tell, “}” replaces it.

If I’m not mistaken, “End if” in tutorials usually means this sign }
