Simple code  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Does not recognize simple functions. Like [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][COLOR=purple]if (2 ==2) { a = “b” }. “a” is never set to “b”[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]  
For example This simple bit of code below does not work. Does anyone know why? It started when loadMovie just quit working. And then my if statements started not working. now passing a varible to a function does not work

[COLOR=purple]var yourName:String = “Ester”;  
var yourAge:String = “65”;  
var favSoftware:String = “Flash”;  
function traceMe(favSoftware:String, yourName:String, yourAge:String) {  
trace("I’m " + yourName + ", I like " + favSoftware + ", and I’m " + yourAge + “.”);  
}  
traceMe(favSoftware,yourName,yourAge);[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#800080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#800080][COLOR=red]I get[/COLOR] [/COLOR][COLOR=blue]I’m , I like , and I’m .[/COLOR]
