Bug in getting value from table in ternary operator

Hi All,

I have found a bug in the ternary operator in combination with the table class. If you have the following code you get an exception when it is executed.

Table table = Table( "GlobalTable1");
double x = table[ 1 ][ 1 ] == 0 ? 1 : ( table[ 1 ][ 1 ] );


Flexscript Error VIEW:/active/MainPanel/BackPanel/SplitterXPane/SplitterYPane/ToolTabPane/TabControl/ScriptConsole/Script>script Line 2  
Invalid cast from int to TableElement
Could not finish parsing because of previous errors.

Could you maybe fix this in the next release?

Thanks,

Patrick

if you explicitly cast the false instruction as a number value, there isn't a bug.

Hi @Jörg Vogel

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean with tonum( table[ 1 ][ 1 ] )? If that is the case is feels quite strange to do this. If you would sum two values from a table you would also not do tonum around each table value. Can you maybe explain a bit more why you would use tonum in this case?

Thanks,

Patrick

double x = table[1][1] == 0 ? 1 : table[ 1 ][ 1 ].as(double);

Okay, I did not know you could use the cast to double on a TableElement. The autocomplete also did not suggest this. Is there any rule or something on when to use such as cast and when not?
