Have you consider tracing the value of that "character_current_segment"

value? This can show whether the test is executing in that way because the

test is actually true.


Another way to cross-test this is to flip the order of execution in the

nested-if... instead of testing "x==5" you can test "x!=5" and flip the

if/else clauses around.


Nested tests can be tricky... I gave it a visual scan but my eyes aren't

strong here yet, and I didn't try debugging it in the environment. But do

either of these troubleshooting paths help? (If not, then the

Troubleshooting chapter of the ActionScript Reference has more.)
