It sounds like the SWF is cached. You'll need to find out if it is.
I suggest you add a build number to your project that you can check if the
swf is cached. There are ANT scripts online that increment a build number
automatically before each build. If you can't find it online I can post an
example when I get a chance.
If it's a cached SWF then there are a few things you can do for your future
development. BTW You don't need restart your browser or Flash Builder. That
wouldn't help anyway.
Use Firefox (not your normal browser) as your browser in Flash Builder for
this test and debug the project. Check if the SWF is cached (using the
build number or changing a background color or something). If it is then go
to Tools > Clear Recent History and make sure the cache option is checked
and time range is set to everything. Remember, Firefox will start caching
the swf after an hour automatically and if that happens you need to clear
the cache again. If the browser's not caching it but it's still cached then
it sounds like it's something up the line IE your server etc.
BTW Personally, I don't like when if statements don't use brackets. For
kicks add brackets to your statement:
if (something < 0) {
something = 0; // put the break point here
}
If you see that you are setting the value but it doesn't stick then it may
be a rare case that has to do with double bindings and temp variables. It's
something along the lines of you assign a bindable variable to a temporary
variable and then when you try to assign a value to that temporary variable
it isn't assigned the value (or something like that). The way to get passed
this is to set the actual variable not the temp variable. In my case I had
to do something like this:
this.something = 0;
or
document['something'] = 0;
instead of
something = 0;
