[flexcoders] Value of AS variable dissapearing

[Scott]

I've got a weird issue that I'm trying to track down... It's all part of
the life of a class instance that I posted before (I've got an update on
that one coming soon).

 

In my user registration validation class, I check to see if the email
address already exists in the DB.  I created a CFC function called
val_email( string:strEMail):Boolean

 

My remote object is defined as:

    <mx:RemoteObject 

        id="authManager" 

        destination="ColdFusion" 

        source="FT.components.cfgenerated.managers.Auth"

        result="remote_result(event)">

       <mx:method name="register" result="register_result(event)"
fault="serverFault(event)" />

    </mx:RemoteObject>

 

In my AS script I have the following config:

<mx:Script>

  <![CDATA[

            Import ...

 

            private var bEMail:Boolean;

 

So that declares the variable that I'll be watching.

 

I basically do the following during validation:

If ( ValidEmailAddress )

authManager.val_email( this.email.text );

 

if (this.bEMail == true )

{

      ... give error message/handing duplicate...

Etc...

 

 

The function:

 

            private function remote_result(event:ResultEvent):void

            {

                  this.bEMail = event.result;

            }

 

 

Fires off ok and sets the variable this.bEMail to "true" just fine.  I
have a watch set on the variable and see that it gets set.

 

Now, when it returns to the above if statement bEMail is back to false.
I've tried to run line by line in the debugger and can't find anything
that is causing a reset.  I can also see the watched variable went from
true to false.  Anyone have any suggestions?
