Re: Checkbox Control failing-update

I've tested and can confirm:

say you add this to the sourceText of a textlayer:

comp("Comp 2").layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")

you get 1 or 0 depending on the checked state because javascript is correctly 'casting' the checkbox-object into a string containing it's value. (the sourcetext expects a string)

BUT !


if (comp("Comp 2").layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")) {
1
} else {
0
}

always returns 1.
The checkbox-object is cast to a logical value ("if" expects a true or false).
In this case: true: the checkbox object exists.



These WILL all work as expected however:

if (comp("Comp 2").layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox").value)

if (comp("Comp 2").layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")==1)

if (comp("Comp 2").layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")==true)

the last one is puzzling though: we don't explicitly ask for the "value" of the object, so javascript again casts it to a logical value true/false, and it does work in this case...

So I do consider this a bug.
