Why doesn’t the following work?  
I know I’m declaring toggler in the wrong place right?  
Does it need to be on an onEnterFrame?

var toggler:Boolean = true;  
if (toggler == true) {  
this\_mc.onPress = function () {  
tweenUp (this\_mc, 5);  
toggler = false;  
};  
}  
else {  
this\_mc.onPress = function () {  
toggler = true;  
trace (“toggler is now true”);  
};  
}
