hi, im trying to make a movie, that the user can control two objects at different time. A variable will act as a switch to determine which object should be controlled by the user. The following codes are written:

Frame 1:  
\_global.intObj1 = “1”;  
\_global.intObj2 = “0”;

Obj1:  
on (press) {  
intObj1 = 0;  
intObj2 = 1;  
}  
on (keyPress “\<Left\>”) {  
if (intObj1 == 1) {  
object1.\_x = 412;  
}  
}  
on (keyPress “\<Right\>”) {  
if (intObj1 == 1) {  
object1.\_x = 212;  
}  
}

Obj2:  
on (press) {  
intObj2 = 0;  
intObj1 = 1;  
}  
on (keyPress “\<Left\>”) {  
if (intObj2 == 1) {  
object2.\_x = 412;  
}  
}  
on (keyPress “\<Right\>”) {  
if (intObj2 == 1) {  
object2.\_x = 212;  
}  
}

only object1 can be controlled by the user, object2 is somehow disabled, even tho intObj2 = 1. If anyone knows how to fix my problem, or needs clarification, please reply right away, thank you!!
