HELP HELP HELP -- ActionScript 3 Problem

Closed

Hi guys, i'm in a trouble, either i'm going really blind or...

I've the following code, in ActionScript3:

trace("FILE: " + soUsers.data.currUser);

currUserID = soUsers.data.currUser;
trace("currUserID: " + currUserID );

currUserID = soUsers.data.currUser as String;
trace("currUserID: " + currUserID );

trace("FILE: " + soUsers.data.currUser);

And i got the following output:

FILE: def1
currUserID: null
currUserID: null
FILE: def1

Can you please, please, point out what i'm doing wrong??

BTW, 'soUsers' is a SharedObject, and 'currUserID' is a string variable;

Yes, otherwise, there would be a undefined property error!
Plus... i can access it!

currUser is not defined. The variable you want in the second and third trace() is currUserID.

Sorry, that was my mistake in renaming my variables to this post,
Originally they were all: 'uID', but i thought that 'currUserID' was easier to get the idea!

But thanks!

GOT IT!!!!!

In another file, i declared new variables and copy pasted the code, and worked perfectly!
And right after testing a stupid idea, i solved it!

When i inicially declared my variables, i casted them to a specific type:
var currUserID:String;

On the second file, i just declared them uncasted, and solved the problem!
Don't know exactly why, but it worked!

Thanks everyone, nonetheless!!
