How about doing something like:
var myNewBool:Boolean = (yourFlashVar == "true"); JOR ___________________________________ === James O'Reilly === === SynergyMedia, Inc. === www.synergymedia.net Matt Ganz wrote:
hi. i'm receiving FlashVars in my object and embed code and the values are either "true" or "false". i assume they're brought into flash as strings and i need them as booleans. it is my understanding that boolean() won't do what i want because all it does is evaluate the expression inside the parantheses instead of converting the value to a boolean. i also read a very brief comment on livedocs that the appropriate way to do it is cast to a number first and then a boolean. but that doesn't make sense to me. anyone have any experience with this? thanks. -- matt. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
