Re: FLASH: more variables thankyouverymuch

[Cheri Harder]

Hi, Mel


 I'm not sure what the question was in this paragraph.  You seem to be

telling us the answer :-)


However, I seems to me that the "b" in there should not have quotes around

it, should it?  Isn't "b" a variable that contains a value that you want?

Even if the variable contains a string, the variable itself should not be in

quotes, or the expression will be evaluated with the letter "b" there...


Also, since you are expecting a boolean value (ie, yes or no, true or

false...) I would use 1 or 0 for your values, but that's just stuck in my

brain, I don't know what the particular reason would be except it is faster

to evalute a true/false situation than a string and I'm more used to heavier

application programming; it probably doesn't make a measurable difference

here.
