[BNM] Flash "if" statement @

[Seb L]

Hi Robert,

indexOf should work fine in this case... check for a result of -1 :

var mystr:String  = "12345 at 234";
var mystr2:String  = "123454t";

trace(mystr.indexOf("@"));  // returns 5
trace(mystr2.indexOf("@")); // returns -1

If that's still not working I suspect you have a referencing problem,
make sure you're actually testing the right thing! I'd trace the value
to make sure that it's what you should be checking.

good luck :-)

Seb
