movieclip frame change problems!

Hopefully I can put this in understandable words.

I have a movie clip called "guy" with all the sprites for this game character in it all in a row. the first 15 frames are his still animation, and 16-30 are his walking animation. On frame 15 I have this script:

if (guymode = 0) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
if (guymode = 1) {
gotoAndPlay(16);
}

It works great, but when it goes back to a frame...say frame 1, it freezes! I've run into this before in other movies. WHY!?

To set a value use '='. to check a value use '==' (double equals):
if (guymode == 1) {

Yes, originally I used the double equals sign, but then it disregarded my script completely and played the movie clip all the way through.

Check the paths on your variable, maybe you should be using _root.guymode == 1. See the paths tutorial.
