I never get the hang of these.’

```auto
	_global.web_link_activate = (wArray[this.id]);
if (_global.web_link_active == "no"){
_root.load_area.zoomer.enabled = false;
_root.load_area.zoomer._alpha = 20;
trace("no");
}else {
_root.load_area.zoomer.enabled = true;
_root.load_area.zoomer._alpha = 100;
trace("yes");
}

```

that should work but it does not. it always says “yes”  
wArray is a drawn from an xml document

xml is

```auto
weblink="yes"

```

can i set vars like true and false in xml kinda like weblink=false??
