Hello,
I found that doesn't make sense to me that empty string label length is 1.
clearconsole();
treenode obj = Model.find("Shape17");
string a;
string b = "";
obj.alabel = a;
print("a:" + a.length);
print("b:" + b.length);
print("alabel:" + obj.alabel.length);// length of empty string equal to 1 doesn't make sense in FlexScript
print("a=b:" + (a == b));
print("a=alabel:" + (a == obj.alabel)
Oh, I guess obj.alabel.length is not string.length. But it still be confusing.
print("string(alabel):" + obj.alabel.as(string).length);// = 0
When you access a label, you get a Variant back, not a string.
Variant.length is array length. For a single value, that's 1. FlexScript Class - Variant (flexsim.com)
string.length is the number of characters in a string. To get string length, you need to cast to a string using .as(string) or assigning the value to a string variable. FlexScript Class - string (flexsim.com)
