I thought I'd create a test case to test this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="onApplicationComplete()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert;
private function onApplicationComplete():void { var x:Boolean = true; var y:Boolean = false; if(x == true && y == false) { doSomething(); } else if(x== false && y == false) { if( x == true) { Alert.show("Should never happen."); } doSomethingElse(); } else { //do nothing } } private function doSomething():void {} private function doSomethingElse():void {} ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> It works fine. No Alert box. How are you invoking this code. It has to be something else. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Cordova Aaron <basic...@...> wrote: > > I have an if else block that is matching every combination, all at once. > > To verify what I was suspecting I hard coded values to make portions of the block impossible but they are still occuring, I'm assuming that the project is not being rebuilt but when I comment lines, the code is no longer executed, but the block is still executed. > > example > > x = true; > y = false; > > if(x == true && y == false) > { > doSomething(); > } > else if(x== false && y == false) > { > if( x == true) > { > Alert.show("Should never happen."); > } > doSomethingElse(); > } > else > { > //do nothing > } > > In my example I'm sure that I should never see the alert message, but I get it the message every time the code is executed. I ran the 'Clean' option in under the Build menu and the source recompiled, the problem remains. >
