I’m using Flash MX 2004 Actionscript.

I’m trying to get control of the time line using a conditional statement.

if (myVars.logged == “Logged”) {  
gotoAndStop(20);   
}

I trace the myVars.logged variable and the trace tells me the value is Logged.

But the above statement won’t go to frame 20.

I’m so frustrated right now.

I need to really learn what I’m doing instead of hacking around, anyone know of a good book or online resouce where I can learn this actionscript?
