variables problem.

[Makakaov]

so i have a Movie clip.

Inside Movie clip i have two frames.

On first one is Movie clip textbox saying: "Uncompleted".

On the second one is textbox saying: "Completed".

The Movie clip with textbox "Uncompleted" is scripted:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(sheise = 1){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

I also made a button on root which has:

on(release){
var sheise = 1;
}

So i wanted to make thingy:

Clicking on button sets varaiable sheise value of 1.

And if sheise is valued 1, textbox changes from "uncompleted" to "completed".

Could you guys help me with the script?

Also: Can i ust make commands to set some var true, or false, and then check it? Tell me how to do it, please.

List of my things to do

Make sure that when comparing a variable in an 'if statement' to use "==" instead of "=".
It should work now.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 if(sheise == 1){
 this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
on(release){
var sheise = 1;
}

It still doesn't work. I guess that's because this mc is in another mc, and sheise setter is on main timeline.

Also, is there a way to just set it true, or false, instead of playing with numbers?

Then use "_root.sheise" (without the quotes). Always make sure you're referring to the correct scope of the variable.

Of course there is! It's called a Boolean.

Even _root.sheise doesn't help. I don't get it. Also about that Boolean. I heard about it, but didn't pay much attention to it since i thought it will be too hard for me to learn.

Also i made another test to just make sure i'm doing something wtong, and still nothing helps.

Anyone mind to check up what's wrong in here, and fix it?

My code works fine its just needs to adjusted to work with your movieclips and variables.
Without posting a .fla noone will be able to help with such specifics such as the scope of the variable and movieclips.

As the other person mentioned chances are your scope are all fucked up this is the completly correct code

Code on the main timeline

var sheise=0;
stop();

Code in the Uncomplete/Complete Movieclip

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
	if(_root.sheise==1)
	{
		this.gotoAndStop(2)
	}
	else
	{
		this.gotoAndStop(1);
	}
}

Code for button

on(release)
{
	_root.sheise=1;
}

Copypasting everything wverywhere have to, and still doesn't work. Is it code for AS 3.0?

I work in 2.0

If using booleans is too hard for you, you might as well just abandon programming now...

var myBoolean:Boolean = false

I haven't downloaded that, but I'm pretty sure your problem is some sort of scope issue.

If you take the time to learn the basics of the language, you would benefit greatly and wouldn't run into such rudimentary problems. And would save you a great deal of time in the future.
