if statement not finding greater than zero

[raredesign]

Why would

if(vol > 0){
trace("worked");
}

NOT work if the value is a decimal value between 0 and 1?
The trace only works sometimes. I didn't note though at what value it worked..STUPID ME...forgot and plus, it was 2AM.

I am reading in an array ..byteArray, and then passing readFloat to vol.

Thanks

I don't know what your datatype is but should be Number.

var vol:Number = 0.023;
if(vol > 0){
trace("worked");
}

Yea, it is number. I will post the trace results tonight.

Please view the code and trace output.
NOTE that the ball did not scale at all, yet the trace worked. The scale works...if I mess around with the values, or do lev == 0, it will work.

for (var i:uint = 0; i < 256; i++) {
var lev:Number = ba.readFloat();
if (lev > 0) {
root.mc_ball.scaleX = root.mc_ball.scaleY = 1.2;
trace("A"+lev)
} else {
root.mc_ball.scaleX = root.mc_ball.scaleY = 1;
trace(lev)
}
}

Since the last value is 0 you're going to end up with scale = 1 regardless of the previous values.

What are you trying to do here? Animate the scaling?
