If/Else Statement - Confused 1

[jalbertson]

I am new to this if/else statement thing, and I can not seem to get this part right. Thank you in advance.

Here is my code:
if (QuizTrack.total_correct<85) {
pass_or_fail.text="Sorry, you will have to go back and take the test again.";
} else {
pass_or_fail.text="Congradulations, you passed the test.";
}

Thanks again.

The syntax is correct.

Thanks for the fast reply!
The first if statement seems to be working fine. The else statement is the one that is not working for some odd reason, that I can not figure out. Any Ideas would be great.

Thanks again in advance

if "QuizTrack.total_correct" is 85 or more, the second statement is executed. If it's not working the problem lies somewhere else. Put "trace(QuizTrack.total_correct);" before the if/else statement to make sure you're getting the right number.

I tried that and nothing showed as being wrong. I am tryin this, just a simple color change in here and it is not working either. This is everything I have in the frame, so maybe it is somthing I have before it.


score_txt.text = (QuizTrack.total_correct/20)*100 + "%";

if ( QuizTrack.total_correct <= 84 ) {
score_txt.textColor = "0xFF66FF" ;
} else {
score_txt.textColor = "0x9999FF" ;
}

Looking at your code, "QuizTrack.total_correct" looks like always between 0 - 20. Your conditional test of "<= 84" is therefore always true.
