I don't think you are allowed to use spaces. So, make it: listText = "<p><a href=\"asfunction:showList,webcasts\">View List</a></p>";
Instead of: listText = "<p><a href=\"asfunction:showList, webcasts\">View List</a></p>"; ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Hart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 10:34 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Is this a bug? I was wondering if anyone else has run into this before. I am trying to pass an argument (String) to a function via an html link in a text field that will execute specific code based on the value of the argument, but the argument seems to "get lost" during the evaluation. The html reads: listText = "<p><a href=\"asfunction:showList, webcasts\">View List</a></p>"; The function reads: function showList(medium:String) { var media:String = medium; trace(media); // returns: webcasts trace(typeof(media)) // returns: string //var media:String = "webcasts"; if (media == "webcasts") { trace("ARGUMENT PASSED"); } else { trace(media + " ARGUMENT NOT PASSED"); returns: webcasts ARGUMENT NOT PASSED } } The link triggers the function, and the "webcasts" argument get passed, but gets lost or isn't recognized by the conditional (media == "webcasts") and fails to the "ARGUMENT NOT PASSED" trace. When I comment out the 'var media:String = medium;' , and uncomment the 'var media:String = "webcasts";', it results in 'true' and I get 'ARGUMENT PASSED'. . . Is this a bug or am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for your help Dennis _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
