actionscript 3 - AS3 event.type if conditional statement, WIERD -

first off using adobe flash cs6 as3

look @ guys cause i'm baffled:

i dispatching event button click, ok working fine , handling event this:

function killloadedclip(event:event):void{     trace(event.type);     event.target.removeeventlistener('killme', killloadedclip)      stage.removechild(profileloader);      profileloader.unload();     } 

works charm !

however, @ this, trace shows following

killme 

when this:

function killloadedclip(event:event):void{     trace(event.type);     if (event.type == "killme")     {         trace("if in profile");         event.target.removeeventlistener('killme', killloadedclip)          stage.removechild(profileloader);          profileloader.unload();     }     else     {         //do nothing     } }  

nothing !!, trace shows correct string, baffling bit. if hard code value of event.type "killme" goes in , works.

so conclusion simple right ?... event.type not being recognised "killme", being traced "killme" !!

i have tried string in case, have used in dynamictexfield.text = event.type; , works , shows "killme" !!

anyone encountered problem ???
