For some reason my first if statement is allways fulfilled, even when I set the varaiable to different values, I cant work out why. My variables are not used anywhere else in my site. I have spent hours and hours and still cant work out what is wrong. I desperatly need someones help, time is running out.

\_global.roller=0  
if (\_global.roller=5){  
var speed = 0;  
}

else {  
var speed = .5;  
if (\_root.\_xmouse \>186 && \_root.\_xmouse \<624){

if (\_root.\_ymouse \< 6 || \_root.\_ymouse \> 374) {  
speed = speed \* 0.950000;  
} else {  
speed = -\_ymouse / 90;  
}}  
}

this.\_visible = true;
