Hi,

I can’t seem to figure this out. It seems easy but I just can’t get it.

```auto

mLight.visible = false

      function eeLamp(evt:Event):void {
            
          
            if (mLight.visible == false) {
  //trace("lamp goes on");
               mLight.visible = true;
                
            }else if (mLight.visible == true; {
mLight.visible = false;
trace("lights goes off")
}

        }

```
