FLASH: Demo version of Flash 4

[Henrik Mikael Kristensen]

Hi!


I have been playing around with the demo of Flash 4 for a while and I found that I can't seem to be able to evaluate expressions in an if() correctly. No matter what I do, the expression is evaluated as being correct and the condition code is executed.


I figured this was a syntax problem.


I tried:


if("name" = 1), an integer


if("name" = "1"), a string


if("name" = True), a boolean


if(Eval("name") eq 1), found that in the manual


if(Eval(name) eq 1), also in the manual...


if(Eval(name) eq 1), just experimenting


if(name eq 1), more experiments...


None of these seem to work.


The variable is set in a different layer than the condition code. The variables *are* global, aren't they? Is this a restriction of the demo version?


Also for debugging I figured it would be nice to be able to see all the variables. I found the menu entry in the manual, but didn't find that entry in the Flash 4 demo.

Is it a demo of the student version of Flash or the professional version? 


Kind regards
