Dan,

Does a strict cast to the Number datatype process correctly?

        switch(Number(currItem.getMediaType())) {
            case VideoVO.FLV_STATE:
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }

Or

        var _fState:Number = Number(currItem.getMediaType());
        switch(_fState) {
            case VideoVO.FLV_STATE:
                break;
            default:
                break;  
        }
        delete(_fState);

Etc. Hope this was helpful...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Swtich Statement issue!?

I have a method that returns a number which I know to be of value 1 I have a
static number variable in another class (SWF_STATE) which I also know to be
1.
In an if() statement they evaluate to equal the same, however in the
following switch statement it will not evaluate?


trace("TYPE:"+currItem.getMediaType()+" COMPARED TO:" + VideoVO.SWF_STATE);
// this traces "TYPE:1 COMPARED TO:1"


        if(currItem.getMediaType() == VideoVO.SWF_STATE)
        {
                trace("wtf?!");//this evaluates and traces
        }
        switch(currItem.getMediaType()) // this switch always traces the
error (default branch)
        {
                case VideoVO.FLV_STATE:
                        this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
                        break;
                case VideoVO.SWF_STATE:
                        this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
                        break;
                case VideoVO.MP3_STATE:
                        this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
                        break;
                case sometest==VideoVO.JPG_STATE:
                        this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
                        break;
                default:
                        trace("ERROR: NO MEDIA TYPE!!!!!");
                }
                
        trace(sometest); // traces 1
        trace(VideoVO.SWF_STATE); // traces 1

Any help on this very much appreciated!
