FLASH: Simple comparison does not work...

[Henrik Mikael Kristensen]

Hi!


If (/movie_target:VarsLoaded ne 1)

      Set Variable: "/movie_target:ButtonsEnabled" = 0

      Go to and Play (2)

Else

      Set Variable: "/movie_target:ButtonsEnabled" = 1


  ->  Set Variable: "/movie_target:TotalSubjects" = 9 <- Variable set!


  ->  If (/movie_target:TotalSubjects lt 15)  <- Why is this one false

            Go to and Stop (3)

      End If

  ->  If (/movie_target:TotalSubjects gt 15)  <- And this one is true?

            Go to and Stop (4)

      End If


      Set Variable: "/movie_target:End" = /movie_target:Begin + 14

      Set Variable: "/movie_target:namecount" = 0

      Set Variable: "/movie_target:index" = 0


  ->  Loop While (/movie_target:index <= /movie_target:TotalSubjects)

            If (/movie_target:index ge /movie_target:Begin or

/movie_target:index le /movie_target:End)

                  Set Variable: "/movie_target:FieldName" &

/movie_target:index = Eval ("/movie_target:GroupName" &

/movie_target:namecount)

                  Set Variable: "/movie_target:namecount" =

/movie_target:namecount + 1

            End If

            Set Variable: "/movie_target:index" = /movie_target:index + 1

      End Loop

End If

Set Variable: "ResultRange" = (Begin + 1) & " - " & (Begin + namecount -

1)


Why does the variable TotalSubjects to Flash appear to be greater than 15?


In the loop, TotalSubjects evaluates correctly as 9...
