flashVars Boolean

Hello,

Working on a site that uses flashVars. I was able to work with number variables no problem, but I have a boolean value that is proving to be more tricky than I anticipated. Any help would be appreciated!

the HTML Param is "isMetal"

I've tried a few things and this is what I have now...

var isMetal:Boolean;

function init():void

{

// true if 'isMetal' is set to '1'; false otherwise

isMetal = loaderInfo.parameters.isMetal != "0";

}

Then I try to use the boolean to pick between filter settings and layer blend modes... unfortunately, it always uses what happens after "else."

if(isMetal != 0)

{

color = new AdjustColor();

color.brightness = 100;

color.contrast = 10;

color.hue = 0;

color.saturation = -100;

loadLogo.blendMode = BlendMode.SCREEN;

}

else

{

color = new AdjustColor();

color.brightness = 0;

color.contrast = 10;

color.hue = 0;

color.saturation = -100;

loadLogo.blendMode = BlendMode.MULTIPLY;

}
