I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior you're talking about. Here's
my code:
private function someFunction(data:String):Boolean {
trace('someFunction called');
return true;
}
private var Result:Boolean;
private function buttonClick(e:Event):void {
Result = someFunction('foo');
if (Result) {
trace('bar');
}
The even buttonClick is hooked up to a button click. Each click of
the button results in this trace:
someFunction called
bar
So someFunction is just called the one time. Tracing through it
didn't do anything weird for me, either. Can you check and see if
this code gives you the same problem?
