Hello everyone

Despite using Flash for a couple of years now I am still a relative newbie to Actionscript 2.0.

I have a button which controls the horizontal movement of a movie clip and next to it I have a button, if the user clicks the button once it moves up half way and when they click it again I would like for it to move up the rest of the way.

This script has been applied to the button

on (release) {  
if (xpos = 0) {  
trig.xposnew = -396;  
} else (xpos = -396){  
trig.xposnew = -627;  
}  
}

however when I click the button nothing happens

Thanking everyone in advance for their help

Cameron
