AS2 Node values vary

[Embussy]

Hi, The code below works but now I have the problem that the node value has three possible images to load. Numbers from:
1-7 needs to load image1.png
8-127 needs to load image2.png
128-500 needs to load image3.png

if(stage_status.toString()=="128") {
loadMovie(_root.content_folder_path+"images/image3", holder_status);
}

Does anyone know how I can get this working please?

Why did you have to convert the variable stage_status to String?

Anyway, an if/else if/else or switch(case) could work.

Sorry, I didn't explain that very well. The number comes from an xml node, the code is

for(h=0; h<Header_Data_xml.childNodes.length; h++)
if(Header_Data_xml.childNodes[h].nodeName == "n_PhaseStatusCode")
stage_status = Header_Data_xml.childNodes[h].firstChild;

if(stage_status.toString()=="128") {
loadMovie(_root.content_folder_path+"images/image1.png", holder_status);
}

Would I have to do an 'if' for each number or is there a way of saying all numbers from 8 to127
if(stage_status.toString()=="8-127") {

i still don't know why you would have to convert to String but this time you should do the contrary. The 'number' coming from xml must arrive already as a String. You'll need to convert to Number to do calculations.

So, something in these lines:
if(Number(stage_status) > 0 && Number(stage_status) < 8) in other words if it's between 1 and 7, etc.

Thanks gparis thats a great help, incidentally, how would you do it without convert to string?

Hi gparis,I tried it but it doesn't work, any idea why?

for(h=0; h<Header_Data_xml.childNodes.length; h++)
if(Header_Data_xml.childNodes[h].nodeName == "n_PhaseStatusCode")
stage_status = Header_Data_xml.childNodes[h].firstChild;

if(Number(stage_status) > 0 && Number(stage_status) < 8)
loadMovie(_root.content_folder_path+"images/b4start.png", holder_status);

if(Number(stage_status) > 7 && Number(stage_status) < 128)
loadMovie(_root.content_folder_path+"images/started.png", holder_status);

if(Number(stage_status) > 127 && Number(stage_status) < 500)
loadMovie(_root.content_folder_path+"images/finished.png", holder_status);

Thank you for your time I really appreciate it

For debugging purposes, add traces:

stage_status = Header_Data_xml.childNodes[h].firstChild;
trace(stage_status);
trace(_root.content_folder_path+"images/b4start.png");

You could also add traces after the ifs see if the conditions are met.

By the way instead of if/if/if, use if/else if/else, as i first suggested.
