my if/else statement doesn’t really work. Well, it does for the first part, but then the second part doesn’t. Is there any obvious reason?

on (release) {  
if (\_root.container.slider.trig.xposnew = -(\_root.container.slider.imagewidth)) {  
\_root.container.slider.trig.xposnew = -((\_root.container.slider.imagewidth)\*2) - 19;  
setProperty("\_root.container.slider.M1", \_visible, 0);  
} else {  
if (\_root.container.slider.trig.xposnew = -((\_root.container.slider.imagewidth)\*2) - 19) {  
\_root.container.slider.trig.xposnew = -(\_root.container.slider.imagewidth);  
setProperty("\_root.container.slider.M1", \_visible, 0);  
}  
}  
}

It is attached to a button which is supposed to comtrol a slideshow - if the first image is showing, then the button should slide in the second image. if the second image is showing (the -19 image), then the first should slide back in…
