Could anyone tell me why my code doesn’t work???

For some reason, my character only drops onto “/a1”

onClipEvent (load) {  
var coordY:Number = 0;  
var coordX:Number = 0;  
}

on (press) {  
startDrag(this, true);  
coordY == 0;  
coordX == 0;  
}

on (release) {  
[COLOR=#a9a9a9]//insert desired space as droptarget[/COLOR]  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a1”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 1;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a2”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 2;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a3”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 3;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a4”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 4;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a5”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 5;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a6”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 6;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a7”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 7;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/a8”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 1;  
coordX == 8;  
}  
if (this.\_droptarget == “/b1”) {  
stopDrag();  
coordY == 2;  
coordX == 1;  
}  
}

If you its difficult to understand, I can e-mail my .fla file to whoever will help me

thanks in advance,

HawK.

P.S. I have made an MC for each space on the board. They are the “droptargets”
