Using ASS:
I’m getting a weird return from a single variable (sd2fCB) that, as seen in the example, returns 2 different results without any intervening code. (see the 2 log messages)
The variable refers to a cell (check box) in a matrix of check boxes that, when coerced to text, first returns “«constant ****on S»” then immediately after, and continuing from then on, returns “on state”. (same problem occurs with vice-versa - the “off” state). Once the app quits and is relaunched, the double return values occur again as stated above.
While I can work around it by keeping the “log” code in the application, (this will “flush-out” the first value returned - since what I really want is the subsequent values that are returned - ie. the text “on state” for use in the app - ), I’d like to know why this is happening and if there isn’t a more graceful solution.
By the way, before the coercion to text, the variable’s return value is “1.869488211E+9” for “on state”.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
