I am attempting to do login in sequence to see if the user successfully logged
in and if so, setting a couple varibles as well as turn on and off some visual
elements. I am sure I am misusing the e.result, but in CF I would check to see
if there is a RecordCount > 0 to see if they passed the login (selected a user
record based on username and password). I don't know the equal in AS3. Help.

private function loginHandler(e:ResultEvent):void {
if (e.result) {
username = e.result.username;
role = e.result.role;
userLogin.visible = false;
mainApplication.visible = true;


if (e.result.role == 'Admin') {
usersLink.visible = true;
projectReports.visible = true;
}

}else{
Alert.show("Incorrect username and/or password. Please try again", "Login
Error");
username_txt.text="";
password_txt.text="";
}
}

Better yet, how to you check to see if the variable exists or doesn't? So in
the if(e.result,getItemAt(0).username) comes up blank if the user didn't
complete the login successfully, how can I trigger off that?

The getItemAt(0) is throwing an error since if they don't succeed, it doesn't
exist..

I am getting this error:

RangeError: Index '0' specified is out of bounds.

Ok, I feel stupid. Just sitting here on the couch...it dawned on me...

if (e.result.length != 0)
