ok…  
i got a button with this AS

[AS]  
on (release) {  
evento = “si”;  
gotoAndPlay(777);   
}  
[/AS]

now…

that works…

but when i reach… frame 1428 i got another AS

[AS]  
if (evento = “si”) {  
gotoAndPlay(5794);  
}

[/AS]

which is not working…

They don’t use the same evento. They declare their own. Replace both by \_root.evento and it should work.

[EDIT] And you have an error in your syntax. Should be [AS]if (\_root.evento == “si”){something}[/AS] [/EDIT]

= stores a value in a var, == checks for equality (is that a correct word ? 😛 ) and === checks for strict equality ( the vars must match type )

also if the condition evento == “si” is false… it just goes to the next frame right?

Yep. If you don’t want it to continue if false you can use

[AS]  
if (\_root.evento == “si”){  
gotoAndPlay(5794);  
} else {  
anthing you want here.  
}  
[/AS]
