Small scripting problem ...

[Reflex]

When testing for a numerical equality you use this:

if (_root.iamaclip.iamavariable == 4) {
_root.iamanotherclip._visible = false;
}

But what about letters ?. Should this work in the same way:

if (_root.iamaclip.iamavariable == hello) {
_root.iamanotherclip._visible = false;
}

or should it be this:

if (_root.iamaclip.iamavariable == "hello") {
_root.iamanotherclip._visible = false;
}

or something else all together ?.


Thanks,
Stephen.

if (_root.iamaclip.iamavariable == "hello") {
_root.iamanotherclip._visible = false;
}

is the right....code....
But there r many other way also...

Yes, if it's letters (strings) you put them in quotes. The only exception is for keywords such as the boolean values true and false which have no quotes around them.

[edit - sorry Shashank, we must have posted at the same time :) ]

single quotes: 'word'

or

double quotes: "word"


Thanks again.

[Mortimer Jazz]

I don't think it matters, but the norm is to use double quotes.

[Shashank]

the boolean values true and false are never in cots..i mean "
in any language

OK!!!
If still not working then check the script above it,,,,
