true or false?

[gary_bydesign]

hi guys,

i am trying to "trap" the value of a checkbox. (true or false)

i know the value is changing, as i have used the debugger and it works fine, i.e. it changes the value as it should.

i now want to use that value to validate a form. here is my code for the submit button

----------------------------------------------
on (release) {
if (termsread != "true") {
gotoAndPlay("tickerror");
stop();
} else {
gotoAndPlay("truetest");
}
}
----------------------------------------------

termsread is changing from true to false correctly. but it always goes to the tickerror frame and never to the truetest frame!!

any ideas?

I would test against the bool true instead of the string "true".

if (termsread != true) {
....

Yeah I know the feeling! It's really easy to get "homeblind", not seeing those easy bugs sitting right under your nose with a neon-sign on them.

And You waqn't to blow your head of if some non-programmer comes around and spots the problem in two secs!
