This might be a compiler optimization issue. Try putting something in the if statement that actually matters instead of just a variable declaration that is never used.
Like a global variable, for example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] var g:Number = 0; public function testit(myBool:Boolean):void { if(myBool) { g++; } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button x="273" y="345" label="{g}" click="testit(false)"/> </mx:Application> It stays 0 when I click the button. How are you calling your crazy function?

Very strange... I had an apparent bug in my code and simply could not find it so I created a very basic function to help test. Here is the code: public function crazy(myBool:Boolean) : void { if ( myBool ) { var s:String; } } Yes, it does nothing. I place a break point on the var s:String; line to test the logic of the if statement. When I execute, it does not matter if I send in a true or a false to this method, it ALWAYS evaluates the expression to true, even though I can see in the debugger myBool is false. I tried: if ( myBool == true ) To see if that had any luck. It did not. After scratching my head a bit I tried: public function crazy(myBool:Boolean) : void { if ( myBool ) { var s:String; } else { var ss:String; } } Viola!!! Adding the else and the logic now works fine. Is it a requirement that I must have an else? If so, why? Thanks, Dale
