Setting global string via an expression

[MJK]

...works fine in MMF2, but is not working in swf.

Set global string(value) to "1234"

value is a number larger than or equal to 1

You should use STR$ to convert a number to a string, do you mean this?

I'm using a global string to store pathnames, so far it works.

No, that's not what i mean.

When you set a global string, you can either select the string manually from the drop down list (like global string A, global string B, etc) or use an expression to point to a global string based on a numeric value. Value of 1 would be the first global string, regardless of what name has been given for it. You can see this functionality in MMF2 in "set global string" --> "use expression".

Value of 1 would be the first global string

Wrong. The first Global String has ID 0. Same for Global Variables.

Well, MMF2 says: "Please enter the number of the value...Enter expression to calculate: Result should be greater or equal than 1"

And it really doesn't matter whether is is 0 or 1, because I've checked the behavior when run both in MMF2 and swf, and it's not the same (when using the same value), so something must be wrong somewhere.

Hmmm, that is strange! I have used everything except that feature in terms of globals by ID, and it has always been 0-based. it's 1 based? That doesn't make sense to me. :\
