it traces WTF when it is supposed 2, but it wont change the x vaule of thing\_mc, i want it to move to the right(it does this) then i want to have it move back, why i want to do this, well i really don’t know, but it should work

var thing:MovieClip = \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“thing\_mc”, 1);  
var speed:Number = 5;  
thing\_mc.lineStyle(12);  
thing\_mc.\_x = 100;  
thing\_mc.\_y = 100;  
thing\_mc.lineTo(100, 0);  
thing\_mc.lineTo(100, 100);  
thing\_mc.lineTo(0, 100);  
thing\_mc.lineTo(0, 0);  
bob = “left”  
thing\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (bob = “left”) {  
thing\_mc.\_x += speed;  
}  
if (thing\_mc.\_x == 100) {  
bob = “left”  
}  
if (thing\_mc.\_x == 200) {  
bob = “right”;  
}  
if (bob == “right”) {  
trace(“WTF??”)  
thing\_mc.\_x -= speed;  
}  
};
