I’m creating a game where there is 3 frames.  
The first frame is the game it self.  
The second frame is if you lose the battle  
the third frame is if you win the battle

in the first frame I have these actions:

stop();  
if(\_root.char.charhp = 0){  
\_root.gotoAndStop(2);  
}  
if(\_root.enemy.enemyhp = 0){  
\_root.gotoAndStop(3);  
}

I checked the instance names and tried tweeking it, but it’s still not working. Could someone see where I went wrong? :h:  
(it might be something really simple, and i’m too dumb to notice it):puzzle:
