Broken If Statment

[tropicanaclock]

Im working on an if statement that checks values, and depending on the programs mode it will require different values. For some reason it breaks with my else statements. I need someone to take a look and see what im getting wrong.

Right now it just automatically jumps to this statement

      else if (menu1.currentFrame == 3 && menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 5 && elecBrkNums == 21  && quizMode =="on" )

          {

function electokay():void

{

          if (menu1.currentFrame == 3 && menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 4 && electricLenNums != 0 && quizMode == "off")

          {

                    menu1.panelmenu.gotoAndStop(5);

          }

          else if (menu1.currentFrame == 3 && menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 4 && electricLenNums == 1 && quizMode =="on" )

          {

                    menu1.panelmenu.gotoAndStop(5);

          }

          else if (menu1.currentFrame == 3 && menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 4 && electricLenNums != 1 && quizMode =="on" )

          {

                    trace("incorrect");

          }

          if (menu1.currentFrame == 3 && menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 5 && elecBrkNums != 0 && quizMode == "off")

          {

                    inputClips.visible = true;

                    ui.visible = true;

                    mod.visible = true;

                    menu1.visible = false;

                    mod.gotoAndStop(10);

                    clearfun();

                    menu1Seeio();

                    electoff.nextFrame();

                    electoff.electinput.nextFrame();

                    inputClips.visible = false;

          }

          else if (menu1.currentFrame == 3 && menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 5 && elecBrkNums == 21  && quizMode =="on" )

          {

                    inputClips.visible = true;

                    uiMes.visible = true;

                    uiMes.gotoAndStop(1);

                    ui.visible = true;

                    mod.visible = true;

                    menu1.visible = false;

                    mod.gotoAndStop(10);

                    clearfun();

                    menu1Seeio();

                    electoff.nextFrame();

                    electoff.electinput.nextFrame();

                    inputClips.visible = false;

          }

          else if (menu1.currentFrame == 3 && menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 5 && elecBrkNums != 21  && quizMode =="on" )

          {

                    trace("incorrect");

          }

}

Use the trace function before any of the conditionals to see what the values of the conditions are.  That will help you determine why things land where they land

You can simplify your efforts by combining all the conditions that repeat into one initial condition (namely: menu1.currentFrame == 3, menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 4, and menu1.panelmenu.currentFrame == 5  )

Ah right I forgot about my old friend trace
