Okay, I've made a basic pong game. And I' m trying to add a score limit but I can't get it to work. My dynamic score counters are "leftscore" and "rightscore" and this is the code I have:

if("leftscore" == "5") {
	gotoAndStop(4);
}
if("rightscore" == "5") {
	gotoAndStop(3);
}

If I put in > it just skips right to the losing page. I've also tried "===" and ">=". Anyone have any idea?

Shouldn't it be

if (leftscore == 5) {
	gotoAndStop(4);
}
if (rightscore == 5) {
	gotoAndStop(3);
}

Please ignore this code if I'm mistaken.

No you're right

Tried that, it didn't do anything.

We are probably going to need to see some more of your code. Try doing a trace to see what leftscore and right score are equal to. Use the typeOf(); method to see what datatype the variable is. Check the scope of your variables too. You may need to add the path to the movieclip those vars are stored in.
