Once again, a thread created by me, I am using the code

```
 ActionScript Code:
 [LEFT][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]row2[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]block1[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]_x[/COLOR] != [COLOR=#0000ff]_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]row1[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]block1[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]_x[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]

```

[COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000ff]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]row2[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]block1[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]swapDepths[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#0000ff]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]row2[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]block1[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]removeMovieClip[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[/LEFT]

Just changing it from == were I was helped last thread I created, NOW, I am fairly new to ActionScript and I do know a bit of C++ and Java from there respective highschool courses, OK, so anyway, obviously, “!=” Does not mean, “Does not Equal” like in C++, how would I go about solving this problem =?
