I have an imagebutton to swap scenes (clicked jump), but I want to show dialogue while this button is shown. Any ideas?

Similiar question, so I put it here again:
I want to swap background images on the fly within a dialogue on button click, but without restarting the conversation every time.
Seems simple with ConditionSwitch() and:
Python:
screen k_bj_view:
    if pov == True:
        textbutton _("change view") action SetVariable("pov", "False")
    else:
        textbutton _("change view") action SetVariable("pov", "True")
but as soon as both has been clicked once, the button is without function.
Am I doing something wrong here?

SetVariable expects the variable name as string. correct. but the value has to be the value, not a string of the value.
if pov is either True or False, i would just use:
Python:
screen k_bj_view:
    textbutton _("change view") action ToggleVariable("pov")

Hmm, I tried it but the only thing that "toggles" is the button, it's either active or inactive, but the image won't change.

Python:
define pov = True
screen k_bj_view:
    textbutton _("change view") action ToggleVariable("pov") yalign .01 xalign .99
image k_bj = ConditionSwitch(
    "pov == 'False'", Movie(play="anim/k_bj2.webm"),
    "True", Movie(play="anim/k_bj.webm"))

label bla:
    show screen k_bj_view
    "some dialogue"

Yes, I forgot to include that part here in the post, but it's in the code^^
"pov is False", Movie(play="anim/k_bj2.webm"),
"pov == 'False'", Movie(play="anim/k_bj2.webm"),
Ah, the ' ' was the problem.
I didn't realize it at first, but it's obviously the same reason why it didn't work in SetVariable, it's can't be a string.
Thanks again :)
