Id like to use a switch statement to check if a given value falls between certain values and then based on different values and then perform differently in each situation. I’m hoping i just have a syntax understanding deficit. Here’s what i’m trying …that doesn’t work.

```auto
public function landingCheck():void 
        {
            trace("landingCheck");
            switch (_landedX) 
            {
                case (_landedX > 20 && _landedX< 70) :
                {
                    trace("landed at asBase");
                }
                
                break;
                case (_landedX > -100 && _landedX< -50) :
                {
                    trace("landed at mBase1");
                }
                
                break;
                
            }
        }

```
