I´m totaly green to this Flash MX,- but i think great.  
However i have a problem that i hope i can get a solution to.  
Who ever that may answer me has to REALLY SPELL IT OUT,- cause i may not know what is genneraly obvious.

Okay here for the description.

I have 2 buttons that when they a pressed play the movie called"Brag"(containing a circle that end up beeing big)  
After playing the movie sequence i want it display some text, so if you played button 1 you´ve gonna get a text(on top of the “Brag”), and if you pushed button 2 you get another text …

This is what i have done:

## This is the action for the button: on (press) {gotoAndStop(2);(this is the frame with the “Brag” button==1; }

## on (press) {gotoAndStop(2);(this is the frame with the “Brag” button==2; }

In the end of the movie called “Brag” i have putted a action with this:  
stop();  
if (button==1) {\_root.gotoAndPlay(3);(this is the frame for “text 1”)  
}  
else if (button==2)  
{\_root.gotoAndPlay(4);(this is the frame for “text 2”)

}

The problem is that it Will show the “brag” movie when a button is pressed,- but then it just stop,- and it seems that it can´t figure out the button value, part…

Hope that anyone would help me…thank´s

(if anyone want the file just say so.)

press Button 1 or 2

If button 1 then goto movie “Brag” play it, and then goto “Scene 1” frame 3

If button 2 then goto movie “Brag” play it and then goto “Scene 1” frame 4

Hope this is better

Your problem was you were using a logical operator to try and assign a value. AKA. you said knap == 3 when you wanted to say knap = 3.
