Re: FLASH: more variables thankyouverymuch

[Helen Triolo]

Just an aside about logical (true/false) variables: you shouldn't put

quotes around the "false" unless you want a string variable with 5

characters in it.  Logical variables have only 2 values, true or false

(like 1 or 0), so they don't use quotes.  In most programming languages,

you can test for a true variable by just saying *if x* (same meaning as

*if x=true*) or *if not x* (same meaning as *if x=false*), but I don't

know if Flash can do this.  But I do know that you can say

   Set Variable: "x" = true 

and test it with

   If x=true

and you don't need those quotes.


Regards,

Helen
