If(something == this1 || this2 || this3){?

Hey,

just wondering if someone could help me out, bit stuck using the “||” expression. I have used it before, and its worked, but i am now experiencing my second moment of it not working, here is how i am trying to use it at the moment;

var drasticMeasures:String = ThirdLevel.childNodes[t].attributes.name;
if (drasticMeasures  == "Option1" || "Option2" || "Option3" ){

}

I know its not a problem with my vars, and when i try comparing “drasticMeasures” against indivudal strings it enters the if statement.

Any help is really appreciated!
Loque
