Question

why is this switch case not working… even if i pick the button monday it shows me default message..

switch (finalsave.weekday) {
    case finalsave.weekday == 1:
    trace ("monday");
    break;

    case finalsave.weekday== 2:
    trace ("tuesday");
    break;

    case finalsave.weekday == 3:
    trace ("wednesday");
    break;

    case finalsave.weekday == 4:
    trace ("thursday");
    break;

    case finalsave.weekday == 5:
    trace ("friday");
    break;

    default:
    trace ("nothingness");
}

Answer 1

Or if you want to ditch that godawful switch-case altogether:

var weekdays: Array = [
    "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"
]

var index : int = finalsave.weekday -1;
trace( weekdays[ index ] );
