as u see the first two buttons and mc's are working proberly but the last one is acting all funny on me

can any one see a problem with this code

blue_btn.onRelease = function(){

if (red_mc._y = 100) {
red_mc._y = 200;
}
else if (green_mc._y = 100) {
green_mc._y = 200;
}
blue_mc._y = 100;
};

red_btn.onRelease = function(){

if (blue_mc._y = 100) {
blue_mc._y = 200;
}
else if (green_mc._y = 100) {
green_mc._y = 200;
}
red_mc._y = 100;
};

green_btn.onRelease = function(){

if (red_mc._y = 100) {
red_mc._y = 200;
}
else if (blue_mc._y = 100) {
blue_mc._y = 200;
}
green_mc._y = 100;
};

You're using the = instand of ==

if (red_mc._y == 100) {
red_mc._y = 200;
}
else if (green_mc._y == 100) {
green_mc._y = 200;
}
blue_mc._y = 100;
};

red_btn.onRelease = function(){

if (blue_mc._y == 100) {
blue_mc._y = 200;
}
else if (green_mc._y == 100) {
green_mc._y = 200;
}
red_mc._y = 100;
};

green_btn.onRelease = function(){

if (red_mc._y == 100) {
red_mc._y = 200;
}
else if (blue_mc._y == 100) {
blue_mc._y = 200;
}
green_mc._y = 100;
};

one thing to definately remember..
the == compares while the = assigns

I don't know any developer who doesn't mistype this every once in a while. This is one aspect I like about delphi, "=" compares and ":=" assigns. I don't know why, but that syntax makes me write these kinds of mistakes less.
