Hi,
How are you constructing your Boolean object?
Are you doing something like:
var b:Boolean("false"); //true.
when you want:
var b:Boolean(false); //false.
Have a read of the docs for the Boolean constructor if this is how your
creating your Booleans, that might clear things up.

I find this very very hard to beleive. I'm betting you changed the way
your exercising the code (ie) by passing in an explicit false or true to
the function.
