[flexcoders] logic problem

[candysmate]

I have two textInput components. This code:

if((goodsInAccount.text != "") && (goodsInAdvice.text.indexOf("/") == 0))
  {
     .....
  }

but it returns true when goodsInAccount contains no text and
goodsInAdvice contains the "/" character. The problem seems to be with
the logic knowing that goodsInAccount.text is empty. It's tried using
goodsInAccount.text.length > 0 too. 

Maybe I've just not had enough coffee yet, or is this a known bug?
