RE: [Flashcoders] casting string to bool
You only need this--- var myBool:Boolean = ( myString == true); If mixed case is a possibility then use myString.toLowerCase() -jeremy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Latcho Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 9:43 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] casting string to bool how to cast a string true into a boolean true and a false into false without using this long trick; var myBool:Boolean; myBool= ( myString == true) ? true : false; by the way: Boolean(true) = true Boolean(false) = true man this sucks So build our own toBool Proto ? thanks, latcho ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.
