I was wondering if anyone else has run into this before.
I am trying to pass an argument (String) to a function via an html link in a
text field that will execute specific code based on the value of the
argument, but the argument seems to "get lost" during the evaluation.
The html reads:
listText = "<p><a href=\"asfunction:showList, webcasts\">View List</a></p>";
The function reads:
function showList(medium:String) {
var media:String = medium;
trace(media); // returns: webcasts
trace(typeof(media)) // returns: string
//var media:String = "webcasts";
if (media == "webcasts") {
trace("ARGUMENT PASSED");
} else {
trace(media + " ARGUMENT NOT PASSED"); returns: webcasts ARGUMENT
NOT PASSED
}
}
The link triggers the function, and the "webcasts" argument get passed, but
gets lost or isn't recognized by the conditional (media == "webcasts") and
fails to the "ARGUMENT NOT PASSED" trace.
When I comment out the 'var media:String = medium;' , and uncomment the
'var media:String = "webcasts";', it results in 'true' and I get 'ARGUMENT
PASSED'. . .
Is this a bug or am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance for your help
Dennis
