sorry about my previous example ;)
can't your receive "1" and "0" instead of true/false ?
this works:
var my_boolean_string:String = "1";
var my_boolean:Boolean = Boolean(Number(my_boolean_string));
if(my_boolean == true) {
trace("cool");
} else {
trace("nope");
}

Try:
var my_bool:Boolean = flashvar_bool=="false"?false:true;
The basic problem is creating a Boolean with any string makes it true.
So creating it with the string "false" still makes it true.

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.
