Actionscript 2 Variable Listener

This is a rather simple concept, Im not sure how to generate the proper code.

I simply need a variable listener for my variable (_root.openimage)

and a switch/case statement for the conditions.

So incase the variable changes, the listener will know and prepare the appropriate function.

Help! This is rather urgent.

_root.scenage.work_content.work_panels.arrow_right._visible = false;
