I am bringing data in from XML, and assigning it a variable name in flash
_root.country = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[4].childNodes[3].childNodes[0];

so far so good, I know it has loaded and when I view my variables _root.country shows as US.

In my code I am trying to do the following comparison:

if(_root.country == "US"){
//do something
};

Doesn't work. Aren't they both strings? When I test

_root.country = "US";
if(_root.country =="US"){
//do something
};

it works fine.

Is there a way to insert quote marks around the variable from the XML?
Why isn't it working?

Any help would be appreciated!
