AS question : defining whats in a varible

1

In my movie I have 4 MC’s named: quan1, quan2, ect…

I have this on my main timeline.


#include "lmc_tween.as"
_global.sectionTimeline=this;
selectedQuan = quan1;
selectedQuan.colorTo(0x719155, 1, "easeOutBack");
stop();

and I have this on the quan1 movie clip.


on (rollOver) {
	this.colorTo(0x719155, 1, "easeOutBack");
	this.scaleTo(115, 1, "easeOutBack");
}

on (rollOut) {
		if (sectionTimeline.selectedQuan=quan1) {
			this.scaleTo(100, 1, "easeOutBack");
		}
			else{
				this.colorTo(0x2C455C, 1, "easeOutBack");
				this.scaleTo(100, 1, "easeOutBack");
			}
}

Now when the movie loads it changes quan1 to a green color
But when I rollover it goes to the else statement…even though selectedQuan is set to quan1.

I debugged it and it shows the varible selectedQuan as nothing.

Anyone have any ideas?
