Question

My flash actions layer contains the whole source code.
My question is: why does the actions layer get executed with a fresh start (new variables) more then once?

the following code snippet demonstrates what i mean:

var notyetexecuted:Boolean=true;
function addNetStream(counter) {
if (notyetexecuted = true) {
    trace(notyetexecuted);

    notyetexecuted=false;
}
}

this always returns true which implies that the actions layer is executed again.
coming from java this doesnt make sense for me.

/edit: i forgot to mention that i have an interval function (still boolean should be false and addNetStream should do nothing)

function User():Void {
trace("Aktuelle Anzahl User: " + counter);
if (counter > prevcounter) {
    addNetStream(counter);
    counter++;
} else if (counter < prevcounter) {
}
}
myInterval = setInterval(this, "User", 3000);

could any1 explain why this is the case and how Flash executes layer?
cheers.

Answer 1

It is because of your test on this line:

if (notyetexecuted = true)

It is setting notyetexectuted to true it should be:

if (notyetexecuted == true)

Note the double ==
