Adobe Animate Scope issues with HTML5.

I fixed the naming issues and it still ignores my if and else statements and continues to Slide to.

var tl = this

    $.get( "https://give.benevolentenabler.com/api/custom/totals/1", function( data ) {

        //alert(data.raised);

        tl.theTime.text = "$" + data.raised;

        alert(data.raised.length);

        if(data.raised.length > 0){ <------This if statement is true and it does not stop the timeline. It continues to Frame 2.

        tl.theTime.text = "$" + data.raised;

            tl.stop();

        }

        else{ <------Do not think this is doing anything.

     //"Do Something Else Like"

          tl.gotoAndPlay('Slide2')

          }

    })

Yes. I have used Alerts. It is getting data it needs.  Below works.

var tl = this

    $.get( "https://give.benevolentenabler.com/api/custom/totals/1", function( data ) {

        //alert(data.raised);

        tl.theTime.text = "$" + data.raised; 

    })

tl.stop();
